SO MANY ROADS
ACCORDING TO THE
MAP I'M A LONG WAY FROM HOME
YOU KNOW THE PLACE WHERE I USED TO STAY
SO MANY WAYS I'M STILL REMINDED OF THEN
LIKE WHEN THE SIGNS SAY "CHILDREN AT PLAY"
MAYBE THIS IS MY EXIT UP AHEAD
I REALLY THOUGHT I'D'VE BEEN THERE BY NOW
SO MANY DETOURS I'VE TAKEN IN VAIN
JUST TO GET WHERE I OUGHT NOT TO BE ANYHOW
SO MANY ROADS TURN TO RUGGED TERRAIN
SOME HAVE SINCE WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN
BELOW THE GROUND AND AROUND IN THE SKY
(SO MANY ROADS) SO MANY ROADS WERE JUST PASSING BY
I THINK I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS LITTLE TOWN BEFORE
I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME
A SIGN WITH A COWBELL ON THE CORNER STORE DOOR
"HOTDOGS FOR A NICKEL AND SODA POP FOR A DIME"
SO MANY TIMES I'VE CROSSED THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES
BUT I'M USUALLY ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL
YESTERDAY I WOKE UP AT THE BOTTOM OF A POND
IN MY SEMI-AUTOMATIC NAVIGATIONAL AUTOMOBILE
SO MANY ROADS TURN TO RUGGED TERRAIN
SOME HAVE SINCE WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN
I'VE GONE THE DISTANCE SINCE WE FIRST SAID GOODBYE
(SO MANY ROADS) SO MANY ROADS COME BETWEEN YOU AND I
