Ridin' on the city line, no idea where my next stop will be
Thoughts are rollin' through my mind, but they fly too fast for me to clearly see
Well I lost my red umbrella on the bus last Tuesday night
The storm clouds up ahead, they are really quite a sight
I walk to my apartment, throw my wet coat on the ground
And as I look around I just smile
Because I know you gotta get lost
Throw those maps away, don't care what they say
C'mon baby, you gotta get lost
Throw those maps away, don't care what they say
C'mon baby, you gotta get lost
Drivin' down the open road into darkness past where my headlights will reach
I'm nervous 'bout what's round the bend, but we pass through and never think on it again
Well sometimes we miss our exit, and there's nowhere to turn around
I guess I'll keep on driving to the other side of town
That's when I see an old woman by the side of the road, looks like she's been around the block
I ask her where to go, she just shook her head, smiled and said
You gotta get lost
Throw those maps away, don't care what they say
C'mon baby, you gotta get lost
Throw those maps away, don't care what they say
C'mon baby, you gotta get lost
Find your own way, trust your heart today
Listen baby, you gotta get lost
Throw those maps away, don't care what they say
Listen baby, you gotta get lost
