Walt Wilkins - I Chose This Road

I CHOSE THIS ROAD STRAIGHT FROM THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY NATURAL BORN HIGHWAY JUNKIE NEVER MUCH MONEY BUT I ALWAYS KEPT SOME FAITH AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE I WAS GOING I JUST KEPT ROLLING ANYWAY, ON TO BETTER DAYS I CHOSE THIS ROAD I'VE BEEN BLINDED, DIVIDED, REUNITED HELD TOGETHER WITH PRAYER AND… GUITAR STRINGS I'VE SCRAPED MY ASS ON EVERY ROUGH PATCH BUT I KEPT DREAMING ABOUT GREEN GRASS AND THE DAY I GROW SOME WINGS, GET ME SOME BEAUTIFUL WINGS I CHOSE THIS ROAD I MET PILGRIMS AND SEEKERS, LION HEARTED PREACHERS TEA-LEAF(?) READERS, YEAH I LIKE FOLKS THAT HEAR A CALL WISE OUTSIDERS, BARRELL RIDERS, PILOTS OF JET PLANE FIGHTERS WATCH SOME OF THEM FALL, BUT I TELL YOU I'VE LOVED THEM ALL CHORUS I CHOSE THIS ROAD AND I'D DO IT AGAIN YEA I'D GRAB THE WIND TAKE ANOTHER SPIN I CHOSE THIS ROAD YEAH, TENNESSEE NEARLY GOT THE BEST OF ME WHEN I LEAVE I'LL GO THANKFULLY, WITH A TIP OF MY HAT AND WHEN I'M TEMPTED TO REGRET EVER LEAVING TEXAS I JUST REMEMBER SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT HERE IN ME AND THAT'S A FACT, YOU CAN BET YOUR RANCH ON THAT CHORUS I CHOSE THIS ROAD AND I'VE BEEN AS LUCKY AS LUCKY GETS A TUNE IN EVERY STEP AND FOR EVERY REGRET THERE'S BEEN A BUCKET OF JOY IF GOD SHOWS ME SOME GRACE AND THE CREEK STAYS IN IT'S PLACE I MIGHT STAY IN THIS RACE LONG ENOUGH TO MEET MY LITTLE BOY'S LITTLE BOY I CHOSE THIS ROAD YEAH, I CHOSE THIS ROAD AND I'D DO IT AGAIN I CHOSE THIS ROAD LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS I CHOSE THIS ROAD
