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
Is 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 gla** on the cements
And there's a ghost of someone's tragedy
How recklessly my time has been spent
They say that it's never too late
We don't, we don't get any younger
I better learn how to starve this emptiness
And feed my hunger
Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in the road
But you can stand there and agonize
Till 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
Learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
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
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
Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in the road
But you can stand there and agonize
Till 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
Learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
Stepping on a crack, yeah
Breaking up and looking back
Till every tree limb overhead
Just seems to sit and wait
Till 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
Till 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
When you're learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while
