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
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
