IF I HAD ANOTHER LIFE

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In this life I chase the sunrise, With a suitcase by the door, Never knowing where I'm headed, Always wanting something more. I can disappear on Tuesday, Find an ocean by Friday night, No little hands to hold me, No reason not to catch that flight. [Pre-Chorus] And I love the road I'm walking, Wouldn't trade away the miles, But sometimes there's another road That crosses through my mind. [Chorus] If I had another life, I'd take the road I didn't take, I'd trade these wheels for little footsteps, Just to see what love we'd make. I'd hang their pictures on the walls, Watch them grow before my eyes, I wouldn't change the life I'm living— I'd just love to live it twice. If I had another life. [Verse 2] Maybe there'd be toys in the hallway, Crayons underneath my chair, Sunday mornings full of questions, Tiny voices everywhere. Maybe I'd complain I'm tired, Then miss the noise when they were gone, Teach somebody how to ride a bike, And wonder where the years had gone. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'd still dream of highways, Of foreign towns and neon signs, And wonder 'bout the other man I left in another life. [Chorus] If I had another life, I'd take the road I didn't take, I'd trade these wheels for little footsteps, Just to see what love we'd make. I'd hang their pictures on the walls, Watch them grow before my eyes, I wouldn't change the life I'm living— I'd just love to live it twice. If I had another life. [Bridge] Maybe no road has everything, Maybe that's the deal we make, Every yes becomes a journey, Every no a road untaken. I don't need to turn the clock back, I don't need another try, I'm just curious who I'd become If God gave me another life. [Final Chorus] If I had another life, I'd take that road and see it through, Birthday candles, bedtime stories, All the things I never knew. Then maybe somewhere down that road, I'd dream of wings and open skies, And wonder 'bout the man I am Here in this other life. So here's to every road I've taken, And every road I've passed on by, I wouldn't trade the one I'm living— I'd just love to live it twice. If I had another life.
