Lyrics

No thank you, I’d rather not follow. I’ll take the long way home
If you must go your way, I guess I’ll go alone
I long to hear your wisdom and everything you know
But how could I ever follow your lead when I know it’s the wrong way for me to go

Please don’t assume I share the same opinions as you do
Withhold all preconceptions when it’s me you’re talking to
Long is my travel, narrow is my path
When I find my way, no turning back

If you don’t recognize your reflection, bury it in the sand
Never follow in the footsteps of no sidesteppin’ man
The road will have its turns, stay straight as you can
Never follow in the footsteps of no sidesteppin’ man

Now I have learned to follow the direction of my own two feet
I’ve learned to look both ways when I cross a one way street
No, I’d rather not follow. I’ll take the long way home
If I lose my way, at least I lost it on my own
