At The Crossroads

Staring up there at the moon as a million stars stare back I hear a lonesome freight train riding down an endless track Oh, the rhythm of its wheels rolling for the great unknown Some people find a home and stay, but I'm always on the roam Standing at the crossroads, which way do you choose The high roads and the low roads both have their points and views Direction takes you left or right, decisions turn out right or wrong And all I know is life's too short and the road's too long Well, I could have been a lawyer or a carpenter and such I've been told as a lover that I've got a gentle touch Oh, I'm not ashamed to shed a tear. I am not too shy to laugh I guess the road less traveled has always been my path Standing at the crossroads at another break of dawn I do the best I can with whatever comes along Give me faith to find my way and the strength to carry on And all I know is life's too short and the road's too long Standing at the crossroads in the middle of nowhere I've been a million miles, but I'm no millionaire Tomorrow stays a day away and yesterday's forever gone And all I know is life's too short and the road's too long All I know is life's too short and the road's too long All I know is life's too short and the road's too long
