Lyrics

The Road
Words and Music by Lachlan Bryan

I chose a road as something I would follow
I chose love as something I would leave behind
So I drove like there was no tomorrow
And I broke every single heart that I could find

I was a kid with a dream and a vision
But my eyes could only see in a straight line
And so the road was not a good decision
But there ain’t no good in looking back in time

I met somebody on the lonesome highway
She asked if I was travelling by myself
Till then I’d only ever done it my way
Thought maybe it was time for someone else

So we tried to keep it all together
And for a while I saw the future in her eyes
But by the time she got to know be better
I’d become so hard to recognise

But I am no poor wayfaring stranger
I’m not going over Jordan all alone
I chose a road though I know the danger
And I’ll always be travelling alone

I chose a road as something I would follow
I chose love as something I would leave behind
So I drove like there was no tomorrow
And I broke every single heart that I could find
