What might have been

What might have been
copyright 2007 T. James Hurley

Probably sounds crazy but this thought occured to me,
tell me if you think it’s out of line.
We could jut keep driving and forget to turn around,
can’t think of anything we could not leave behind.

And we could leave this place today or we could turn back now and stay
and spend a lifetime wondering...”what might have been”.

Can’t recall how many times I’ve heard one of us say
how we’d like to leave this one-horse town.
And I don’t know what makes this time so different...but it is,
and there’s a world out there that’s waiting to be found,
So let’s not even take the time to pack a bag ‘cause we may find
if we go back we might not leave again.
We’ll take along our memories as souvenirs and memories
and go see if this highway ever ends....

And we could leave this place today or we could turn back now and stay
and spend a lifetime wondering...”what might have been”.

For each and every choice we ever make,
another path we did not choose to take.
So if indeed our lives are made of these,
We should be traveling down the road that runs between here and our dreams...

So we can leave this place today or we can turn back now and stay
and spend a lifetime wondering...
