Two Highways

(Larry Cordle)



Two highways lay before me which one would I choose

Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would 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.



In the morning would I wake to find down the wrong road I have gone

Will I hear the melodies 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 morning 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.



In the morning would I wake to find down the wrong road I have gone

Will I hear the melodies 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.



Two highways lay before me...
