Yesterday I missed my exit On my way to Sears A song was on the radio I hadn't heard in years For a minute there the interstate Was 2nd Avenue And I was singing, "Everlasting Love" And driving home to you Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken Just every now and then I think about what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken By now we'd have our own business And a house just out of town In a neighborhood that smelled like dinner When the sun went down Two kids playing in their rooms With toys we never had A little girl who looks like you And a boy, just like his dad Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken Just every now and then I think about what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken What if I had asked you? And what if you'd said, "Yes"? There's no way I'll ever know Still I can't help but guess Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken Just every now and then I miss a place I've never been Somewhere down that road not taken Yesterday I missed my exit On my way to Sears
