The Road
Verse 1:
I've been thinking about the places that I've seen,
There are many that I'd like to see again,
There's a few, oh, I'm glad I've left behind,
And then there's those that are forever on my mind.
Chorus:
Life is learned on the road,
What we chose and where we go,
Some take it fast, some take it slow,
It all depends upon the weight of your load,
Verse 2:
I've been thinking about the lessons that I've learned,
Looking back on all the pages I have turned,
A few of them, though, they are still stained with tears,
That will not dry even after all these years.
Chorus:
Bridge:
We're born, we die, but the story in between,
Is written in the places and on the faces that we've seen,
Every chapter is a tale that must be told,
It's up to us to fill them all with gold.
Verse 3:
I've treated strangers with a velvet glove,
And at the same time hurt the people that I love,
And I've made mistakes, Lord, sometimes I've made them twice,
Cause I often leave it to the roll of the dice.
Chorus:
Well I've been thinking about the places that I've seen,
And there are many that I'd like to see again,
