Met a child of the Cosmos
On the streets of Kanab
He pointed the way and

Answered the questions I had
But a short cut through Utah
Doesn't really exist

It'll send you through a mountain
And out a hole in a cliff


Left Flagstaff in the morning
To make Salt Lake by night
Driving across the moon

Hoping that it's right
Went into a fog
Near the state line

But didn't care much
About losing time


It's true a wrong turn
Can put you in a wrong place
But it could lead to

A way cooler space
You'll never have a bad trip
If you accept

The twists and the turns
That you don't expect


On Highway 80
Just out of the hills
Hit something slick

About took a spill
On the plateau
In snow axle deep

Still got to Rock Springs
In time for some sleep


Been a mile high
For nearly a week
But it'll wear off

Under twelve hundred feet
Coming down soon
Traveling I-35

Playing songs and
Glad to be alive


It's true a wrong turn
Can put you in a wrong place
But it could lead to

A way cooler space
You'll never have a bad trip
If you accept

The twists and the turns
That you don't expect
