Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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's Gonna make your soul satisfied Well, I better learn how to swim 'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide [Verse 2] Twisted guardrails on the highway Broken glass on the cement That's a ghost of someone's tragedy How recklessly my time has been spent They say that it's never too late But you don't, you don't get any younger Well, I better learn how to starve this emptiness And feed my hunger [Chorus] Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road 'Cause you stand there and agonize 'Til 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 The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while [Verse 3] 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 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 [Chorus] Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road 'Cause you stand there and agonize 'Til 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 The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while [Bridge] Stepping on a crack Breaking up and looking back 'Til every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait 'Til every step you take becomes a twist of fate [Chorus] Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize 'Til 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 And when you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while [Outro] Nice singing. Thanks for singing, y'all. Right on.
