I disagree. I think the sort of bridge bit (i.e. I've been crying...) is very telling and sort of clarifies the meaning of the rest of the song. I think the roads are metaphorical and Morrissey means the paths leading back to the depression he later refers to, as there are often warning signs. The "veering cliffwards" part also supports this.
