• Going Places

I can see a lot of places from atop this hill.
The roads to them are a mystery,
and the journey is a thrill.
There are many paths to follow
to wherever they may will.
But I have no idea where I’ll end
up my spine there runs a chill.

I could go north, up to the schools
I would learn all the science rules.
Then I’d be an educated man,
and I’d have an educated plan.
I know there would be plenty of money to earn.
If I go north, that’s where I’ll learn

I could go west, just me alone.
I would live out on the road.
Then I’d be a traveling man,
and I’d travel all over the land.
I’d have nobody to call on the phone.
If I go west, I’ll be alone

If you ask one thousand different men
to tell you what they know,
there will be a thousand places
they say that you should go.
And there will be a thousand paths
that each of them will show.
But I don’t have a thousand lifetimes
so I just don’t know.

I could go south and play guitar,
where I would lay until the night caught fire.
Then I’d come out and sing my song,
and everyone would sing along.
And I know there wouldn’t be much pay,
but if I go south that’s where I’ll play.

I could go east and find a girl,
and fall in love, forget the world.
Then we would settle on down,
put our roots into the ground,
and we’d buy that house that she’s always dreamed of.
If I go east, that’s where I’ll love.

I can see a lot of places from atop this hill.
Hopefully, I will get to one
or two if it’s God’s will.
I tell myself, and I tell my friends
“I will get off this hill.”
But I won’t be going anywhere if I keep standing still.
