Fred Eaglesmith - Some Roads Lyrics
I pull this blanket up over my shoulderI stoke the fireI check my gun againThere's the hounds a'bayingUp over the mountainBy the way they sound I can tell they've found my tracks againThere are some roads I wish I'd travelledThere are some trains I wish that I had rodeThere are some bridges I wish I'd burned, LordThere are some women I wish I'd never knownLast night I slept in some old hollerA muddy river rolled by my sideWhen I woke up I had a feverFor in the night I dreamt that I had diedThere are some roads I wish I'd travelled There are some trains I wish that I had rodeThere are some bridges I wish I'd burned, LordThere are some women I wish I'd never knownSo I'm goin' back down off this mountain I'm goin' to turn myself in todayShe'll be cryin' by the scaffoldWhen the hangman calls out my nameThere are some roads I wish I'd travelledThere are some trains I wish that I had rodeThere are some women I did not know, LordAnd I wish now, she was one of them
