Walked Too Long of a Road
Life is a highway for some people
But for me it is more of a country road
The kind of road where wifi doesn't reach
Where each curve reveals a new wonder
I put in my destination in the GPS
Until I get there
I'm keeping my eyes on the road
No detours
I could get lost here
Every now and then I reach a split
I have to pick a way
The funny thing is I never know if I choose right
I just follow the path I turned on
And never look back
If I look back I regret it
Honestly, I'll never know
So I keep going
People join me occasionally
Some stay a while
Most hop on and leave at the nearest exit
It feels like a long road
A lonely one, too
But once I get to the destination
It's going to be great
No, it won't be perfect, or easy
I will make it work, though
What do I have to lose?
I really want to get there
But I don't want to miss the journey
The journey is why I am who I am
So I follow my path
My beautiful, private, lonely road
All the way to exactly where I need to be
