Lyrics for Song: Two Highways
Lyrics for Album: Two Highways [Rounder] [1989]
(Larry Cordle)
Two highways lay before me,
Which one will I choose
Down one lane I find happiness
And down the other I will lose.
There is no one that I can trust,
I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one,
Which road will take me home.
Chorus:
In the mornin' would I wake to find,
Down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melody I've searched for
Oh, so long.
Only time will tell
If I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul,
Goodbye lover moans my voice.
Perils, there are many,
As I set out on my way
If I lose your love I know
That I can call it back someday.
Rambler, lonely rambler,
Just 'cause anyplace is home
Nashville lights
How you have always shined.
--- Instrumental ---
Wishing now that you had found
A word or two to say
But the mornin' came and we both knew
My eyes gave it away.
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye
I thought only time will tell
And you can't draw,
Water from an empty well.
Chorus:
In the mornin' would I wake to find,
Down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melody I've searched for
Oh, so long.
And though sadness cries my inner soul,
Goodbye lover moans my voice...
