thought 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 twisted guardrails on the highway broken glass on the cement 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 the emptiness and feed the hunger 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 when you re learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your while and there s always retrospect to light a clearer path every five years or so i look back on my life and i have a good laugh you start at the top go full circle round catch a breeze take a spill but ending up where i started again makes me wanna stand still 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 when you re learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your while  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 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 when you re learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your while 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 when you re 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
