Ricky Skaggs - Two Highways Lyrics

(Larry Cordle)

Two highways lay before me which one would I choose
Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose
There is no one that I can trust I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one which road will take me home.

In the morning would I wake to find down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul goodbye lover moans my voice.

Perils there are many as I set out on my way
If I lose your love I know that I can call it back someday
Rambler lonely rambler just cause anyplace is home
Nashville lights how you have always shined.

--- Instrumental ---

Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say
But the morning came and we both knew my eyes gave it away
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell
And you can't draw water from an empty well.

In the morning would I wake to find down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul goodbye lover moans my voice.

Two highways lay before me...
