Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Found a cardboard box today Tucked behind the dusty tray In Mom’s garage sale shelf Hidden from my younger self Old wood and peeling paint Memories feeling kind of faint [Pre-Chorus] I wasn't looking for the past But some things are built to last Letters written in the dark Leaving such a heavy mark [Chorus] It’s the turns I didn’t plan That made me the better man Every detour, every delay Brought me to this perfect day Yeah, the scenic route home Is the only way I’ve known [Verse] Faded stubs from a Friday show Ten years or more ago A Polaroid of a dusty road Where the old truck nearly slowed We were lost in Omaha Breaking every single law [Pre-Chorus] Looking back at every mistake And the chances I didn't take Now I see the hidden hand Leading me across the land [Chorus] It’s the turns I didn’t plan That made me the better man Every detour, every delay Brought me to this perfect day Yeah, the scenic route home Is the only way I’ve known [Bridge] I thought I knew the map Falling into every trap But the gravel and the grit Were the best parts of it Now I see the silver line Everything is doing fine [Verse] I’ll put the lid back on the box And turn the rusty little locks Then drive back to my own front door Knowing what the journey’s for My wife is waiting on the porch Carrying the steady torch [Chorus] It’s the turns I didn’t plan That made me the better man Every detour, every delay Brought me to this perfect day Yeah, the scenic route home Is the only way I’ve known [Outro]
