Take a left, take a left,
Take a left, take a left,
Mmmm,
Take a left, take a left,
At the next cross-street, stop and take a left,
Where’s that crosswalk? I messed up,
I should turn around and backup,

I think I just crossed the state line,
The way back home is getting hard to find, and,
I’ve had, twice, to stop for gas,
I’ve been lost since the first street I passed,
Sittin’ in my old car thinking that I am such a fool,
Thinkin’ ‘bout how I’d never, ever find a road I knew,
Street was one-way,

I just don’t know the way,
I’ve been out here for days,
I can’t read the map, I admit it,
I swear I’m going to lose it all in a minute, one way,
I swear I’ve seen that tree,
Two times or maybe three,
I’ve got a busy day planned tomorrow,
But I never thought the directions that I printed were irreversible,

I can’t find my way home,
I might as well be lost in Rome,
Oops, crossed over into Mexico,
What did I think I was taking that turn for?
I should be making a U,
But the guy behind me won’t drop below 52,
I’m ‘bout to drop these keys,
And push this car into the sea,
Sitting at a red light thinkin’ ‘bout where I’m supposed to go,
Thinkin’ ‘bout the wrong turns I made so long ago,
That got me out here,

I should just drop the keys,
The signs are in Japanese,
I’m puzzled by the interstate connections,
No, I’m not gonna stop for directions, baby,
I’ve not hit one light green,
I’m wearing holes in my jeans,
I really hope I am home by tomorrow,
But I never thought the directions that I printed were irreversible,

The OnStar has no batteries,
Lost my GPS just last week,
Oh, now what is there to do?
I might as well be driving on the moon,
I haven’t had a wink of sleep,
But the truth of the matter is that I’ve been lost for about three weeks,

Take a left, take a left,
Take a left, take a left,
Mmmm,
Take a left, take a left,
When I get to 8th, check and turn to the left,
Take a left, take a left!
Oh, I never thought the directions that I printed were irreversible,

The cops are following me,
Been speeding since Kentucky,
My money’s almost diminished,
Any longer and I’ll be finished, baby,
It seems like eternities,
Since I’ve seen large cities,
I have to wake up early tomorrow,
I don’t know just what I was thinking, baby,
I should take an airplane,
And save myself the pain,
I could have a motel room in a minute,
But I think I’m getting close, let me finish,
(If I see one more city limit,
The wheel’s gonna feel me spin it),
I’ve never seen this place,
How old is that Navy base?
I should try to make it home by tomorrow,
But I never thought the directions that I printed were irreversible.
