Paint your eyes, to hide the lies, so no one knows
A lonely heart, a broken start, a soul gone cold
The world is turning, and you keep hurting, but share that smile
Here’s a new one, another lost one, the new old style
Always outside looking in, it never works out your way
And I can see it in your eyes
One directions all you know, when things get hard on you
Sweet Loretta
Hold on tighter, wannabe fighter, but still a slave
Will he miss me? a shot of whiskey, to make you brave
Flip through pictures, read the scriptures, dry those tears
Your eyes wide open, here's to hoping, rest all your fears
One dimension, black and white, it never works out your way
And I can see it in your eyes
One directions all you know, and I can tell you’re gonna go
Sweet Loretta, where you going to?
Been down that road before
And it won’t take you anywhere
Sweet Loretta, Where you going to?
The roads, they’re all the same
And they will never bring you home
Hard to stop you all your crying
To find out just where you’ve been
Save all the improvising
And find your way back again
One dimension, black and white, it never works out that way
And I can see it in your eyes
One directions all you know, and I can tell you've got to go
got to go, but you have got to know
Sweet Loretta, where you going to?
Been down that road before
And it won’t get you anywhere
Sweet Loretta, Where you going to?
The roads, they’re all the same
And they will never bring you home
