Russell Harding got me thinking about the choices we all make in life with his song Soap on a Rope. That got me to thinking about how the choices we make can lead off to many different paths.
Two Roads By Jeff Gilpin
July 29th, 2008
Verse 1
[G]Young one you’ve got [C]two roads in [G]life
To [G]take on your [D]journey a[G]head
[G]Both have got side roads of [C]struggles and [G]strife
And [G]yet both leave [D]you just as [G]dead
[C]Which one you [D]take is [Em]all up to you
The [C]journey is all in your [D]hands
[G]Find what you’re made of [C]along the [G]way
And [G]learn as [D]much as you [G]can
Verse 2
[G]One road you can take may seem [C]easy at [G]first
But get [G]steeper as [D]you travel [G]on
[G]It might not be [C]quite what you [G]wanted
So [G]go back if [D]you get it [G]wrong
[C]Nothing [D]wrong with [Em]trying to start over
Just [C]don’t burn the bridges you [D]cross
It's [G]hard to go back by [C]jumping a [G]stream
Of [G]one of life’s [D]lessons you [G]lost
Verse 3
[G]Another road starts and it [C]tries to dis[G]suade
As if [G]it knows you’re [D]not tough e[G]nough
Yet [G]nothing worth having comes [C]without a [G]price
You'll put [G]up with [D]all sorts of [G]stuff
[C]After a [D]time it [Em]all may pay off
[C]But sometimes it [D]don’t
[G]That’s the funny [C]thing about [G]life
[G]Either it [D]will or it [G]won’t
Verse 4
[G]Life sure seems straight [C]forward at [G]first
[G]Choices don’t [D]seem all that [G]tough
But the [G]longer the journey the [C]deeper the [G]thirst
Any your [G]choices may [D]get a bit [G]rough
So [C]make your best [D]choices and [Em]don’t second guess
[C]Try hard not to look [D]back
[G]No one can know [C]what might have [G]been
So [G]stick to your [D]guns and re[G]lax
Verse 5
I [G]want an old porch swing at the [C]end of my [G]road
So [G]I can just [D]sit and re[G]flect
But [G]it just might be the [C]curb of the [G]road
[G]Life’s tough and you've [D]got to re[G]spect
The [C]journey that [D]teaches and the [Em]lessons you learn
And the [C]lessons that others learn [D]too
So [G]enjoy the journey but [C]duck when it’s [G]needed
There'll be [G]time to re[D]flect when it’s [C]through[G]
