Bruce Hornsby - The Road Not Taken (Live) lyrics

Down in the southwest Virginia town of Richlands I fell in love with an Appalachian girl She lived in a long line of little row houses On the side of an old strip mining hill Oh, she walked along on the jagged ridge And looked as far as she could see But the hills out there so up and down You only see as far as the next big ridge Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow on the hill Another time and another place I feel her in my heart still Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow 'round the bend I see her in my mind and then I go down the road not taken again, taken again Oh, the coal dust settles on the window display Gotta change it about every other day Oh, some things never change way out here But outsider could always remain that way Oh, she walked along on the jagged ridge She told me she was sittin' there thinkin' of me But every time I tried to take her away She alway ran back to the rocks and the trees Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow on the hill Another time and another place I feel her in my heart still Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow 'round the bend I see her in my mind and then I go down the road not taken again Oh, not taken, taken again, not taken again Oh, I went back there after many years Oh, so, so curious and so secretly Oh, as I looked on, I held back a tear Oh, the road not taken overcoming me Oh, I saw her, she was sittin' there Older, thinner on the front porch It seemed the light a little brighter there Or maybe, I still carried the forgotten torch Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow on the hill Another time and another place I see her in my heart still Every time I see her face On the street in the hollow 'round the bend I see her in my mind and then I go down the road not taken again Oh, I go down the road not taken, yeah Taken again not taken, taken again Yeah yeah yeah
