Thought I knew my mind like 
the back of my hand
The gold and the rainbow 
and nothing panned out as I planned
They say only milk and honey's gonna 
make your soul satisfied
I better learn how to swim 
cause the crossing is chilly and wide

Twisted guardrails on the highway 
broken glass on the cement
The ghost of someone's tragedy 
how recklessly my time has been spent
And they say that it's never too late 
but you don't, you don't get any younger
I better learn how to starve 
the emptiness and feed the hunger

Up on the watershed standing 
at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize 
till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies 
get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your
while

And there's always retrospect 
to light a clearer path
Every five years or so I look back 
on my life and I have a good laugh
You start at the top, go full circle 
round catch a breeze take a spin
But ending up where I started again 
makes me want to stand still

Up on the watershed standing 
at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize 
till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies 
get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face 
the path at your pace every 
choice is worth your
while

Stepping on a crack breaking up 
and looking back
Every tree limb overhead 
just seems to sit anyway
Till every step you take becomes 
a twist of fate

Up on the watershed standing 
at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize 
till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies 
so get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face 
the path at your pace every 
choice is worth your
while

Up on the watershed standing 
at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize 
till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies 
so get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face 
the path at your pace every 
choice is worth your
