The Road Not Taken Lyrics

The Road Not Taken lyrics

Could've worked for the old man

Could've finished school

No not me, I had bigger plans

Stubborn as a mule

I didn't listen to no one

That's the way I learned

I wonder where I'd be now

If I'd only turned



Down the road not taken

And married the girl back home

Down the path forsaken

And not like some rolling stone

Would I only trade regrets

If I could retrace my steps

And go down the road not taken



Got a box full of pictures

I don't show my wife

She won't catch me in a daydream

Of another life

Mama's sick and my dad's retired

I call 'em on the phone

They tell me where I'd be now

If I'd only gone



Down the road not taken

And married the girl back home

Down the path forsaken

And not like some rolling stone

Would I only trade regrets

If I could retrace my steps

And go down the road not taken
