lyrics
Sidetrack (Clifford T. Ward)
------------------------------------
When I started out I knew where I was going
But the fact that I didn't get there's showing
I was gonna be somebody going to the top
But the glory I wanted wasn't what I got
I got sidetracked
I got sidetracked
I got sidetracked
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
I can see my name flashing across city streets
Crowding in the rain people waiting for their seats
And on every tongue my reputation grew
But when I woke up it all had fallen through
I got sidetracked
I got sidetracked
I got sidetracked
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Now you find yourself in a military zone
Doing what you can try to barricade your home
And you're wondering however you got this way
Was it all for her you decided to stay
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
We got sidetracked
