Straight to You

Ricky Skaggs · Life Is a Journey [Atlantic] [1997]

(George Teren - Lee Saterfield)



I have stumbled and I have complained on this rough and rocky road

I've been humbled caught out in the rain and it's chilled me to the bone

Now I've seen my dreams scatter like leaves lost in the wind

And if I could do it over I'd go through it all again.



'Cause every path I haven't chosen

Every heart that wasn't true

Every door that wouldn't open

Led me straight to you.



I've been lonely I've held on to love I was never meant to have

No one told me till I let go love would stay beyond my grasp

Well it took a little heartache and it took a lot of time

But the love I didn't look for is the best I'll ever find.



'Cause every path I haven't chosen

Every heart that wasn't true

Every door that wouldn't open

Led me straight to you.

'Cause every path I haven't chosen

Every heart that wasn't true

Every door that wouldn't open

Led me straight to you.



Every hour I've felt forsaken

Every storm I've struggled through

Every chance I've ever taken

Led me straight to you.

Straight to you...
