I took a walk down a road yesterday
And it took me back in time
Made me think about that road I used to walk
That led me to your house
Where we would sit and talk for hours
About all the things we planned to do
Then our roads went different directions
Whatever happened to you?

(chorus) You made hard choices
That you had to make
You made hard choices
That you had to face
But when you really stop and think about it
That’s the way it should be

When I think about those times
And all the choices I have made
I wonder what would have happened to me
If things had gone a little different way
I would have never felt your beauty
I would have never seen you smile
I would have never felt your gentle kiss And your crazy style

(chorus)
We made hard choices
Every day
Hard choices
Won’t go away
But when you really stop and think about it
That’s the way it should be
Cause when you really stop and think about it
That’s what it means to be free

Now the road does not go on forever
Somewhere way out there is the end
Right now, I’m just riding this old highway
Thinking about who are my friends
Don’t let this road make you angry
Don’t let this road get you down
And think about me every now and then
I’ll be around

(chorus X 2)
