So this is the house, the house that we built

So this is the car, the car that we bought

So these are the things, the things that money can buy

You say that you want them, well so do…

Oh what's this direction, oh darlin' anyway?

Cause for the things you want, there's a price to pay

Distraction, keeping you away from me

Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be

Distraction, for a moment or a mile,

The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turning…

I wake up, I walk around, remember what I'm doing here

I break down, I clean up, I make the bed we sleep in

You wake up, you walk around while I'm still sleeping

We're always in a hurry for love not money

And the line's always busy while we're trying to get through

Oh what's this direction, oh darlin' anyway?

Cause for the things you want, there's a price to pay

Distraction, keeping you away from me

Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be

Distraction, for a moment or a mile,

The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turning…

Distraction, keeping you away from me

Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be

Distraction, keeping you away from me

Keeping me away from you…
