Lyrics
(Verse 1)
My Friends have all gone on without me,
The ones that I could say I really know.
It's not that they are mean or unfriendly,
It's just that I have chosen... A different road.
(Verse 2)
My ol' man said to "try hard in school,"
and I will learn what I need to know.
It's not that I don't want to pay my dues.
It's just that I have chosen... a different road.
(Chorus)
After all, a different road led me to you.
A different road maybe somethin' new.
And a different road, you know, I'll never mind,
'Cause you don't know what you'll find... on a different road.
(Verse 3)
The books say that nig money is in the city,
And that all I have to do is to go.
I know with that cash I'd be sittin' pretty.
It's just that I have chosen a different road.
((Chorus))
(Bridge)
And to think about that sunny day,
When I saw you... you know, that way.
If I had gone on... like everyone said to,
I would have missed the road, that led to you.
(Chorus)
