The Road Not Taken

Down in the southwest Virginia
town of Richlands
I fell in love
with an Appalachian girl
She lived in a long line
of little row houses
On the side of an old
strip mining hill
She walked along
on the jagged ridge
And looked as far as she could see
But the hills out
there so up and down
You only see as far as
the next big ridge
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow of on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart still
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow in the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again
Oh the coal dust sttles
on the window display
They have to change it
about every other day
Some things never change way out here
An outsider could always
remain that way
She walked along on the jagged ridge
She told me she was thinking of me
But every time I tried
to take her away
She alway ran back to
the rocks and the trees
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow of on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart still
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow in the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again
yeah
Oh I went back there after many years
So curious and so secretly
As I looked on I held back a tear
The road not taken overcoming me
Oh I saw her she was sitting there
Older thinner on the front porch
It seemed the light a little
brighter there
Or maybe I still carried
the forgotten torch
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow of on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart still
Everytime I see her face
On the street in the
hollow in the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again
