Some Roads - Fred Eaglesmith
I pull this blanket up over my shoulder I stoke the fire I check my gun again There's the hounds a'baying Up over the mountain By the way they sound I can tell they've found my tracks again There are some roads I wish I'd travelled There are some trains I wish that I had rode There are some bridges I wish I'd burned, Lord There are some women I wish I'd never known Last night I slept in some old holler A muddy river rolled by my side When I woke up I had a fever For in the night I dreamt that I had died There are some roads I wish I'd travelled There are some trains I wish that I had rode There are some bridges I wish I'd burned, Lord There are some women I wish I'd never known So I'm goin' back down off this mountain I'm goin' to turn myself in today She'll be cryin' by the scaffold When the hangman calls out my name There are some roads I wish I'd travelled There are some trains I wish that I had rode There are some women I did not know, Lord And I wish now, she was one of them
