(S2E16 Bonus) - Three Wrong Turns Home

Tomorrow's episode is all about the transition from a world where maps were an everyday driving tool to the world we have now with satellites buzzing overhead telling us exactly where we are and how to get where we want to go.

And because this is a podcast about things we miss and what we learn, we learned that keeping maps current is a big job! Things change. Roads change. And...GPS changes us. As we depend on GPS, our spatial skills degrade.

So, that's the idea for this week's song. Places we once knew change and we lose our spatial sense.

Have a listen - Three Wrong Turns Home.

[Verse 1]
Rolled off the highway
Coffee gone cold
Feels like it's all been changed
Record shop's a coffee place
Diner has a different name
Miss my own street
Laughing round the turns
[Chorus]
Three wrong turns from home
Three wrong turns
On a road I ought to know
Drove it in my sleep
Lord, knew this town by heart
Three wrong turns from home
[Verse 2]
Past the old pool hall
Now it's a mini-mall
School's gone, fence and dirt
Light at Seventh hardly waits
Bridge wider than I knew
My maps are wrong I don't know when
All the names I knew are gone
[Chorus]
Three wrong turns from home
Three wrong turns
On a road I ought to know
Drove it in my sleep
Lord, knew this town by heart
Three wrong turns from home
[Bridge]
Maybe I was gone too long
Maybe town moved on
Radio's still playing
Windows down, sun going down
[Final Chorus]
Three wrong turns from home
Three wrong turns
On a road I ought to know
Drove it in my sleep
Lord, knew this town by heart
Three wrong turns from home
