Path to Follow

She said when will those willows grow 

Old until the branches are barely missing 

The ground just by a few ol' inches 

I heard her whisper I bet they don't need nothing 

I took the trail less traveled by and now 

I hear them wishing I was with em' 

I ditched em' I switched to different back roads 

And I know that It made all the difference 

How do the old pines know when it's about to snow 

I see those evergreens as green as they could ever be 

it seems to me that truth doesn't die does it. 

He's gonna lay out a lie you thought he was kiddin well I didn't 

I know when I'm misinformed. 

I was born in a storm with no warmth so be warned 

Oh you know I be where they don't go 

I never step foot in a path to follow 

Ain't no shaking these bones unless they're resting and I'm passed and gone. 

I think that boy has got a right to know 

If he is walking blind into a gold mine 

Playing tricks upon his mind the whole time 

You ain't the only light that will shine in the dark darling 

It's time that you get up and go. To avoid the fall of a made ceiling secure walls are indeed but a great feeling. They're stealing wood to build a home for the wrong reason 

When you hear the venomous call you're gonna let it pass you on by won't ya 

run away why won't ya. 

Because your fence has blown far and the storm is in your front yard. 

The rain is trickling down and the house rots away any day now. And you know there are no replacements ol' girl better rise to the occasion 

Oh you know I be where they don't go 

I never step foot in a path to follow 

Ain't no shakin these bones unless they're resting and I'm passed and Gone 

I've been switching these ropes in hopes to find a place to call my own. 

I ain't lost I've always been home.
