Some roads Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

I pull this blanket up over my shoulders
I stoke the fire, I check my gun again
There′s hounds a-bayin' up over the mountain
By the way they sound, I can tell they found my tracks again

There are some roads I wish I′d traveled
There are some trains I wish that I had rode
There are some bridges I wish I'd burned
Lord, there are some women I wish I'd never known


Last night I slept in some old holler
A muddy river rolled by my side
When I woke up I had a fever
During the night I dreamt that I had died

There are some roads I wish I′d traveled
There are some trains I wish that I had rode
There are some bridges I wish I′d burned
Lord, there are some women I wish I'd never known

So I′m going back down off this mountain
I'm gonna turn myself in today
She′ll be crying by the scaffold
When the hangman calls out my name


There are some roads I wish I'd traveled
There are some trains I wish that I had rode
There are some women I did not know
Lord, I wish now she was one of those
