Could've worked for the old man
Could've finished school
No not me, I had bigger plans
Stubborn as a mule
I didn't listen to no one
That's the way I learned
I wonder where I'd be now
If I'd only turned

Down the road not taken
And married the girl back home
Down the path forsaken
And not like some rolling stone
Would I only trade regrets
If I could retrace my steps
And go down the road not taken

Got a box full of pictures
I don't show my wife
She won't catch me in a daydream
Of another life
Mama's sick and my dad's retired
I call 'em on the phone
They tell me where I'd be now
If I'd only gone

Down the road not taken
And married the girl back home
Down the path forsaken
And not like some rolling stone
Would I only trade regrets
If I could retrace my steps
And go down the road not taken
