Lyrics

(INTRO)


We've made some cherished memories, and had a damn good laugh

We told the truth in Istanbul, inside a Turkish bath

We spilled out all our secrets, and took that photograph

When we were there, off the beaten path


We hitchhiked out of old 'Frisco, and headed for Flagstaff

We spent the night in Zion Park, and met that psychopath

He stole your rings, I caught him cold, your warned him of God's wrath

When we were there, off the beaten path


And all the time we never knew, if we were lost or not

But somewhere between the tried and true, that's where we both got caught

In the act of the beaten path


(VERY NICE GUITAR SOLOS)


We holed up in that Shanghai bar, for six days and a half

I went by Teddy Roosevelt, he misses Howard Taft

We paid our bills with lies and wit, and ancient Chinese math

We were there, off the beaten path


Like the lost Gods of Olympus, through the mists of history

Someone will write about debauchery, and call them tragedies

Like Jim and Huckleberry Finn, driftin' on a raft

We were there, off the beaten path


And all the time we never knew, if we were lost or not

But somewhere between the old and new, that's when we both got caught

In the act of the beaten path


We were there (we were there) off the beaten path

We were there, (whispered) off the beaten path
