Lyrics
TRAINS I DIDN?T TAKE
RED LIGHTS WERE FLASHIN, THE CROSSING GATE CAME DOWN
I PULLED UP BEHIND HIM AS THE TRAIN WAS COMING ?ROUND
THERE IN HIS REAR VIEW, I GOT A CLEAR VIEW
I?D KNOW THOSE DARK EYES ANYWHERE
HE WAS THE ONE WHO OFFERED EVERYTHING
LOVE AND PROTECTION, COMPLETE SECURITY
I COULD?VE PLAYED IT SAFE, BUT IT?S NOT ME TO TAKE
A ROAD SOMEBODY ELSE HAS ALREADY PAVED
CHORUS
THERE?S BRIDGES I DARED TO CROSS
CHANCES TAKEN, CHANCES TOSSED
DREAMS I CHASED, DREAMS I LOST BUT THERE ARE NO MISTAKES ONLY
CHOICES THAT I MADE THAT BROUGHT ME HERE TO THIS PLACE
AND MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY WITH NO REGRETS
FOR TRAINS I DIDN?T TAKE
I HEARD HE CLIMBED RIGHT UP THE CORPORATE LADDER
PICTURE PERFECT WIFE, HAPPY EVER AFTER
2.2 KIDS, GATED RESIDENCE
THE WHITE PICKET FENCE THAT COULDN?T FENCE ME IN
CHORUS
BRIDGE
THE GATES LIFTED AND HE CROSSED THE TRACKS
AND IN THE GLOW OF HIS TAIL LIGHTS
I SAT THERE FOR A MOMENT, TOOK MY LAST LOOK BACK
THEN HE WENT LEFT AND I WENT RIGHT
CHORUS
