Sidetracked

Clifford T. Ward

When I started out I knew where I was goin'

But the fact that I didn't get there's showin'

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

Crowdin' 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 wonderin' 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
