Two Different Roads
Words and Music by M. Nesmith 1963

You can't try and walk down
Two different roads
And look to both of them to bring you home.
You must take your own way
Tho' it is the long way
And sometimes you find yourself alone.
I know,
For this all happened once before.

Sometimes you think, "I'll wait,"
But he who hesitates
Is lost and this is not just a game.
It's the problem of creation
And only meditation
Can make your mind and age the same.
I know,
For this all happened once before.

You'd better move along. Don't wait
And let the dawn
And its friendly sunrise catch you at rest
Do what you must. No man
Can criticize you
As long as what you're doing is your best.
I know,
For this all happened once before.
I know,
For this all happened once before.
