VERSE I
i just got one more mile to go before i sleep
i've been traveling all day long
wishing i could wind the clock back up again
and when i wake i'd find the years would all be gone

CHORUS
never did i hear how easy life would be
or the road less traveled that i've traveled by
and if this day should be taken as i lay me down to rest
i will thank the Lord above for my sweet time

VERSE II
looking back i see the blessings in my life
feel the love i held so close at hand
and nothing seems to matter quite as much to me
as those days i could've been a better man

BRIDGE
the sun is going down now
and the stars don't seem to shine as bright as they did when I was a kid
the ships out on the horizon probably won't sail in
but it doesn't stop me wishing for what might have been
