Distracted lyrics

I wonder how do you do

And should I come back to you

I've been thinking

I wonder how do you do

And should I come back to you

I was lonely, sad and so distracted

I took a highway

It was the low way in disguise

There because only

My love had chain reacted

There was a detour 'long the way -

With a soft shoulder toll to pay -

Leaving me a-lonely

Sad and so distracted

I was lonely, so sad and so distracted

Taking the freeway but when I broke free

I closed my eyes

Mama, please hold me real close 'cause

I've been fractured

There was a detour along the way

With a soft shoulder toll to pay

Leavin' me a-lonely,

Sad and so distracted

Notice the teardrops running down on

my cheek

Notice the laughter

Making it loud's a good disguise

Taking my heartaches for a little ride

on main street

There was a detour 'long the way

Just another heart that stalled today

Leaving me a-lonely, sad and so

distracted

(Play your horn, play on your horn)

There was a detour 'long the way

Just another heart that stalled today

Leaving me a-lonely, sad and so

distracted

[Repeat]
