On The Taken Road

Came up to the crossroads The grave of the blues My compass won't tell me Which way to choose One trail is full of fire And the other's full of frost If you don't know the way You might get lost You used to want to step each stone of the globe Now the world's in the pocket of your velvet robe Wondering at all times if your head will explode Ain't it nice to travel on the taken road? The wind is howlin' With a devilish force If you listen, you can hear it Beatin' on a dead horse Everybody everywhere Wherever you are We're all underneath The same old stars You used to want to step each stone of the globe Now the world's in the pocket of your brand new robe Wondering when the sky above you will be overflowed Ain't it nice to travel on the taken road? You used to want to step every stone of the globe Now the world's in the pocket of your velvet robe Wondering if the ground below your feet will corrode Ain't it nice to travel on the taken road? If you're wondering what you're doin' with this heavy load Wonder if you took it on the taken road
