Two Roads

Well I give my heart for your attention
I give my soul to the skys above
And I got thoughts I just can't mention
If you listen kind of close, you're going to hear enough

This ol' world spins like a minor miracle
The sun and the moon they go 'round just for you
But deep inside there's a finer circle
And my friend that's the wheel that must run true

You can drive all day and never leave Texas
You can drive all night long and never leave home
Everything's real, but not everything mixes
And there's some things even love leaves alone

There's a fork in the road where I seek my fortune
One road to life, one road to ruin
I flip my ____ and I started marchin'
High on that mountain between the roads a storm was brewin'

Right beside the road sat an old gray indian
Her twin sister she was sitting on the other side
I asked 'em both for there opinion
Which road was the road which lead to life

Now one tells the truth, one always lies
One sound like an angel, one sound like a witch
When they spoke, they spoke together
'til this poor boy couldn't tell which witch was which

Well I got my soul set on a firm foundation
I can barley tell, tell the right from left
Now what's it going to be, my true destination
A life of charity, or a life of theft

This ol' world spins like a minor miracle
The sun and the moon they go 'round just for you
But deep inside there's a finer circle
And my friend that's the wheel that must run true

Well I give one woman my shoes my feet were filling
I give the other a little money from my gunny sack
I gave one road my belt and my sombrero
I gave the other road my shirt right off of my back

Then I ran through the briars and I ran through the brambles
Neither time nor pain was I countin'
Up rocky ridges through ruble I rambled
Forsaking two roads to climb one mountain

At the top of the world the sky was clearing
You could see forever, yeah far and wide
I saw two roads split apart behind me
Baby, they came together again on the other side

You can drive all day and never leave Texas
You can drive all night long and never leave home
Everything's real, but not everything mixes
And there's some things even love leaves alone
Yeah, there's some things even love leaves alone
Aw, there's some things that even love leaves alone
