the road you didn't take

Different men need different things
Knowing what you want, thats the secret

Youre either a poet Or youre a lover
Or youre the famous Benjamin Stone
You take one road, You try one door
There isnt time for any more
Ones life consists of either/or
One has regrets Which one forgets
And as the years go on

The road you didnt take Hardly comes to mind, does it?
The door you didnt try. Where could it have led?
The choice you didnt make Never was defined, was it?
Dreams you didnt dare Are dead
Were they ever there? Who said?
I dont remember, I dont remember at all

The books Ill never read Wouldnt change a thing, would they?
The girls Ill never know Im too tired for
The lives Ill never lead Couldnt make me sing
Could they? Could they? Could they?
Chances that you miss, Ignore
Ignorance is bliss- Whats more
You wont remember, You wont remember at all
Not at all

You yearn for the women, Long for the money
Envy the famous Benjamin Stones
You take your road, The decades fly
The yearnings fade, the longings die
You learn to bid them all goodbye
And oh, the peace, The blessed peace
At last you come to know

The roads you never take Go through rocky ground, dont they?
The choices that you make Arent all that grim
The worlds you never see Still will be around, wont they?
The Ben Ill never be, Who remembers him?
