I've always wondered what the future is holdin' for me Who will I marry, and what will my occupation be? The answer came to me in a song The explanation was not very long A voice ran through my head The chords came and went But I still remember what it said The road ahead is mighty long With twists and turns, rights and wrongs The road ahead goes on and on But at the end, you'll be at home ♪ Your time is like the highway Rollin' through the cities that you know From San Fran to New York Your first breath, the last step of the road So, close your eyes, and live inside your mind Let this music take you down the lines 'Cause time is a mystery, an unknown melody It always seems to get away The road ahead is mighty long With twists and turns, rights and wrongs The road ahead goes on and on But at the end, you'll be at home At the end, you'll sing this song
