lyrics

High Road
by Gord Maxwell, Gordon Lee Worden and Gord Matthews (2012)

She asked if she could stay, I said ‘you better go’
She said ‘You’re a good man”, I said ‘I don’t know’
I’ve spent countless hours thinking ‘bout this, wondering what I’d do
A choice that isn’t easy but has nothing to do with you

(Chorus) If this is called the high road,
then why do I feel so low?
Thinking ‘bout what might have been
as I stand and watch you go
If this is called the high road
then it’s all I’ve ever known
Can’t get off now, I don’t know how
Let the high road take me home

Maybe I’m a fool, I guess some would say it’s true
There’s just no way they could turn away from someone beautiful as you
But I’ve spent half of my life with the same wife
Now you come along
Just one night would feel so right, but in my heart I know it’s wrong

(Chorus) If this is called the high road,
then why do I feel so low?
Thinking ‘bout what might have been
as I stand and watch you go
If this is called the high road
then it’s all I’ve ever known
Can’t get off now, I don’t know how
Let the high road take me home

(Bridge)
High road (take me home)
High road (take me home)

(Chorus) If this is called the high road,
then why do I feel so low?
Thinking ‘bout what might have been
as I stand and watch you go
If this is called the high road
then it’s all I’ve ever known
I can’t get off, I’d just get lost
Let the high road take me home

Take me home
High road (3X)
