(Track #3 from The Road Less Traveled)

The Road Less Traveled

By Frank Meyer

Verse 1

I remember, it was in the spring

For all my friends those wedding bells did ring

But for me, nothing came along

Except this guitar and a chance to write some songs

So, I sat down, let my words flow

And just like little children, watched them grow

And as I guided them with my heart and hands

They began to spread their joy throughout the land

Chorus

There are many roads to travel

Many things to be

It seems the road less traveled

Has worked the best for me

Verse 2

And I remember, it was summer time

She came along, I knew she was a sign

For when I told her of my chosen road

She said she'd like to help me bear the load

So, together we wrote more tunes

And some nights we’d just play them for the moon

Then it came time to set them free

To find their place in this society

Chorus

Instrumental Break

Verse 3

I reflect now as I feel the fall

It won't be long 'til old man winter calls

And I know that when we're dead and gone

These songs we've left behind will still live on

For it's quite clear nothing gold can stay

And like time, everything slips away

But the word, it does survive

It's the only way old ideas are revived.

Chorus
