[Verse 1]
I knew my mind
Like the back of my hand
The gold and the rainbow
But nothing panned out as I planned
They say only milk and honey's
Gonna make your soul satisfied
Well, I better learn how to swim
'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide
[Verse 2]
Twisted guardrails on the highway
Broken glass on the cement
That's a ghost of someone's tragedy
How recklessly my time has been spent
They say that it's never too late
But you don't, you don't get any younger
Well, I better learn how to starve this emptiness
And feed my hunger
[Chorus]
Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in the road
'Cause you stand there and agonize
'Til your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies
Get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
[Verse 3]
And there's always retrospect
(When you're looking back)
To light a clearer path
And every five days or so I look back on my life
And I have a good laugh
'Cause you start at the top
You go full circle round
Catch a breeze, take a spill
Yeah, but ending up where I started again
That makes me wanna stand still
[Chorus]
Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in the road
'Cause you stand there and agonize
'Til your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies
Get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
[Bridge]
Stepping on a crack
Breaking up and looking back
'Til every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait
'Til every step you take becomes a twist of fate
[Chorus]
Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize
'Til your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies
Get used to a country mile
Learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
And when you're learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
[Outro]
Nice singing. Thanks for singing, y'all. Right on.
