One, two, one, two, three
People shake their heads and wonder
Why I am like that today
I'm just a puzzle of the places
The faces along the way
If I could do it all over
I'd try to get it right from the start
But I guess I learned enough to know
That I could get where I needed to go
And it's a zig zag path on the road to freedom
Going home another way
No fast track to the gates of Eden
Going home another way
It's a zig zag path
It's a zig zag path
You always took the straight and narrow
You're as straight as the arrow flies
Now you're going half-crazy
Cause you can't break away from those lies
You gotta loosen you grip, let it slip
Let yourself run wild
You say I'm getting nowhere fast
But look at all the people I've passed
And it's a zig zag path on the road to freedom
Going home another way
No fast track to the gates of Eden
Going home another way
It's a zig zag path
It's a zig zag path
I've knocked around and rocked around
Just looking for some clues
Back and forth and in and out and over and through
I've always been a dreamer, not your typical suit
I'm getting up to heaven by an alternate route
And it's a zig zag path on the road to freedom
Going home another way
No fast track to the gates of Eden
Going home another way
It's a zig zag path on the road to freedom
Going home another way
No fast track to the gates of Eden
Going home another way
It's a zig zag path
It's a zig zag path
It's a zig zag path
