Lyrics:

[Intro]
Two roads out past that rusted gate
One looked safe, the other looked fate
Sat there thinkin’ with a jaw full of chew
Sometimes you pick, sometimes it picks you
Dropped it in drive, heart full of load
This is the story of the road I rode

[Verse 1]
Pulled up to a fork with the mud run deep
One path smooth, one made for the sheep
The other had ruts and a no trespass sign
Barbed wire fences and a crooked line
But I ain’t never been one to walk too straight
So I took that turn, sealed my fate

[Chorus]
I took the road less travelled, where the wild things grow
With no direction, just my soul to tow
Maybe I’m bluffin’ when I say I knew
But every mile made me more true
Yeah, it made all the difference
At least that’s what I hold to

[Verse 2]
Now I’m sittin’ on a stump with a cooler and a scar
Tales in my beard and a beat-up car
Folks ask me, “Man, was it worth the ride?”
I just grin, say, “Hell yeah,” with pride
They don’t see the storms or the nights I cried
But that muddy ol’ path made me feel alive

[Chorus]
I took the road less travelled, where the wild things grow
With no direction, just my soul to tow
Maybe I’m bluffin’ when I say I knew
But every mile made me more true
Yeah, it made all the difference
At least that’s what I hold to

[Outro]
So if they ask which road felt right
Tell ‘em: “The one with no end in sight”
