two highways

Alison Krauss

(Larry Cordle/Amanda-Lin-Jack and Bill Music Co., ASCAP)

Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose
Down one lane I find happiness and down the other Iââ?¬â?¢ll be blue
There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one, which road will take me home

(chorus)
In the morninââ?¬â?¢ would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melody Iââ?¬â?¢ve searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loserââ?¬â?¢s choice
And though sadness rides my inner soul, my loverââ?¬â?¢s homeââ?¬â?¢s my road

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 ââ?¬Ë?cause anyplace is home
Nashville, lights of you always shine

Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say
But the morninââ?¬â?¢ came and we both knew my eyes they veer away
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell
And you canââ?¬â?¢t draw, water from an empty well

And though sadness rides my inner soul, my loverââ?¬â?¢s homeââ?¬â?¢s my road
