Topic: "Life Roads"

This is just a song I wrote about looking back at where I’ve been and looking at where I could have been if I had taken some wrong turns in life.

Life Roads By Jeff Gilpin


October 22nd, 2008


Verse 1


[Dm]Wheels are [G]turning


In my [C]mind [F] [C]


[Dm]Looking back at [G]those


Happy [C]times [F] [C]


[Dm]To For[G]get them


Would be a [C]crime [F] [C]


I [Dm]look back


So [F]none are [C]left be[G]hind


[Dm].[F].[C].[G]


[G]Too many memories


[Em]Not enough time


[G]Too many memories


[Em]Not enough time


[C]Can’t [Bb]leave a [C]one be[G]hind


[G]Too many friends


For this [Em]heart of mine


[G]Still out there some


[Em]Where I can’t find


But [C]I won’t [Bb]leave a [C]one be[G]hind


No [C]I won’t [Bb]leave a [C]one be[Em]hind





Verse 2


[Dm]My wheels have [G]rolled me


A long [C]ways [F] [C]


[Dm]From all [G]my


Younger [C]days [F] [C]


[Dm]Not getting [G]lost


In the [C]haze [F] [C]


I [Dm]see them all


[F]Looking [C]back a[G]mazed


[Dm].[F].[C].[G]


[G]I Never thought


I’d [Em]get this far


[G]Surprised I’m not


At the [Em]end of some bar


[C]Hard to [Bb]believe I’ve [C]come this [G]far


[G]Sipping on whiskey


[Em]Breathing in tar


[G]Dead ended somewhere


In a [Em]broken down car


[C]Hard to [Bb]believe I’ve [C]come this [G]far


[C]Hard to [Bb]believe I’ve [C]come this [G]far


[C].[Bb].[C].[Em]

Re: "Life Roads"

Yep looking back is great...all those what ifs too. I've always been curious about all the roads taken as well as all the roads I've yet to come across.  They all sound like good song fodder to me. smile

Re: "Life Roads"

Thanks Brad and Daddy - I agree with you Daddy, joining Chordie sure has given me a great way to make new friends who share a common interest of music with me.

Re: "Life Roads"

Hi Jeff,

Life's road is long and winding with many tempting side paths, some good and some not so good but we do not know which until we try them. Looking back on the good ones is fun and it is especially good to remember the wrong ones and how we got through them. All part of the rich tapestry of life. Good theme and a great song.
