Lyrics

TRAINS I DIDN'T TAKE

Red lights were flashing the crossing gate came down
I pulled up behind him as the train was coming 'round
There in his rearview I got a clear view
Yeah, I'd know those dark eyes anywhere
He was the one who offered everything
Love & protection, complete security
I could've played it safe but it's not like me to take
A road somebody else has already paved

There were 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 keep me in

(Chorus)

The gates lifted & 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 & I went right

(Chorus)
