EVERY ROAD I CHOOSE

Verse 1

Life puts a highway in front of you,

White lines running through the unknown,

Some roads lead you somewhere beautiful,

Some leave you standing alone.

There’s a sign at every crossroads,

A choice underneath the light,

You can keep your foot on the pedal,

Or pull over and make it right.

Pre-Chorus

Every turn becomes a story,

Every mile becomes a scar,

You don’t always choose the road,

But you choose who you are.

Chorus

Life is like a highway,

Every choice becomes a lane,

Some roads bring you closer,

Some just teach you through the pain.

There’s an exit when you’re lost,

There’s a shoulder when you break,

And a thousand different directions

For every wrong mistake.

You don’t have to keep on driving

Just because you started there,

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do

Is turn around and care.

Verse 2

Some people travel beside you,

Some disappear at the next town,

Some relationships change direction,

Some old ones circle back around.

There’s roads you wish you’d never taken,

And roads you’d drive again,

But every mile behind you

Still helped you understand.

Pre-Chorus

You can’t erase the tire tracks,

You can’t rewind the signs,

But you can choose a different road

With what’s left of your time.

Chorus

Life is like a highway,

Every choice becomes a lane,

Some roads bring you closer,

Some just teach you through the pain.

There’s an exit when you’re lost,

There’s a shoulder when you break,

And a thousand different directions

For every wrong mistake.

You don’t have to keep on driving

Just because you started there,

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do

Is turn around and care.

Bridge

Maybe the wrong road

Wasn’t wasted after all,

Maybe every dead end

Taught you how to stop.

Maybe every detour

Was leading somewhere new,

And the road you thought was over

Was just changing underneath you.

Final Chorus

Life is like a highway,

And we’re all just passing through,

Some roads are made for leaving,

Some bring you back to you.

There’s an exit when you’re hurting,

There’s a sunrise past the rain,

And no matter where you’ve been before,

You can choose your road again.

You don’t have to keep on driving

Down a road that isn’t right,

Sometimes a brand-new beginning

Starts with changing your direction tonight.

Outro — Repeat

Every road I choose

Becomes a part of me,

Every turn I take

Changes what I’ll see.

I can’t change the miles behind me,

But tomorrow’s road is new,

And wherever this highway takes me,

I’ll choose the road I choose.

Every road I choose

Becomes a part of me,

Every turn I take

Changes what I’ll see.

I can’t change the miles behind me,

But tomorrow’s road is new,

And wherever this highway takes me,

I’ll choose the road I choose.
