Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Two Highways

Two highways lay before me

Which one would I choose?

Down one lane I'd find happiness

And down the other I would lose

There is no one that I can trust

I must decide alone

My decision is an awful one

Which road will take me home?

In the mornin' would I wake to find

Down the wrong road I had gone?

Will I hear the melodies

I've searched for oh so long

Only time will tell

If I have made a loser's choice

Hello sadness, cries my inner soul

Goodbye lover, moans my voice

Perils today are many

As I set out on my way

If I lose your love, I know that I

Can't call it back someday

Rambler, lonely rambler

Just calls any place his home

But Nashville's lights

How beautiful you shine

Wishing now that you had found

A word or two to say

But the morning came and we both knew

My eyes gave it away

As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye

I thought, only time will tell

And you can't draw water from an empty well

In the mornin' would I wake to find

Down the wrong road I had gone?

Will I hear the melodies

I've searched for oh so long

Only time will tell

If I have made a loser's choice

Hello sadness, cries my inner soul

Goodbye lover, moans my voice

Two highways lay before me

Which one would I choose?

Down one lane I'd find happiness

And down the other I would lose

There is no one that I can trust

I must decide alone

My decision is an awful one

Which road will take me home?
