I was a renegade rag-top revving up an engine Hell yeah, why not take it to the limit? I would smoke it if you had it at a high school party Passing round a bottle round a bonfire in the woods Look at me wrong, you damn right, I'd fight you My parents got the worst kind of dog that would bite you And I'd love him, and I'd leave him, and it was what it was And it is what it is, and I wouldn't change it if I could Yeah, I lost my way Damn near lost my mind Pedal to the metal, let the devil leave me blind I was way outside the lines And then I got away on track Took some wrong turns looking back It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view I thank the good Lord for the detours to you She was an everything but the wings angel out of nowhere Crossed the room crooked smiling, I just had to go there Sitting with a group of friends and sipping on a glass of red And I don't remember what I said, but she wrote her number down All I ever wanted, but never knew I'd need She's the dotted line in every sign that led me straight to Jesus Was a voice that made me hit the brakes Slow it down, had some faith, and I had to learn from my mistakes But I'm on the right road now Yeah, I lost my way Damn near lost my mind Pedal to the metal, let the devil leave me blind I was way outside the lines And then I got away on track Took some wrong turns looking back It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view I thank the good Lord for the detours to you Well, I lost my way Damn near lost my mind Pedal to the metal, let the devil leave me blind I was way outside the lines And then I got away on track Took some wrong turns looking back It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view Took some wrong turns looking back It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view And only He knows all the hell I had to go through I thank Him for the detours to you All the detours to you All the detours to you
