Path of Least Regret

    they say the planes are grounded
    we'll be here all night
    left a nice warm hotel room
    to make this flight

    won't be the first time
    I've slept sitting up
    might as well have some coffee
    you want a cup?

        coffee? no, I don't think so
        that'd just make it worse
        you may have slept in airports before
        but this is my first
    
        I could sure use a drink, though
        But first I need a phone
        Gotta call my wife
        Tell her I won't be home
    
There's a million roads through life
Not one's a sure bet
The best you can hope for
Is the path of least regret

    I've got no one to call
    No place I belong
    No one's waitin' for me anywhere
    Not for way too long
        
    Made a choice and lost that life
    Long time ago
    Sittin' in an airport just like this
    Watchin' the falling snow
    
        My wife won't be waiting for me
        Not after this call
        I'm not headed home right now
        Not goin' home at all
        
        It's over between us
        The spark we had is gone
        No point in tryin' to bring it back
        So I'm moving on
    
There's a million roads through life
Not one's a sure bet
The best you can hope for
Is the path of least regret

    That's exactly the choice I made
    So far in the past
    Left a wife I didn't think I loved
    For greener grass
    
    But there's always another field
    Just beyond the fence
    After while the paths I chose
    Stopped making sense
    
        I don't know if I love her or not
        Don't know my own heart
        The past year something's changed
        We just drifted apart
        
        Tonight I stopped finding reasons
        To keep it afloat
        Just a whimper, not a bang
        Like the man wrote
    
There's a million roads through life
Not one's a sure bet
The best you can hope for
Is the path of least regret

    I wanted to change his mind
    Didn't know what to say
    I could've used some good advice
    Before I left that day
    
    But no one even tried
    I'll never know for sure
    If I might have gone back that night
    And spent my life with her
    
        Hope he's not trying to change my mind
        Nothing he could say
        I don't need anyone's advice
        I can make my own way
        
        But maybe I'll take my time
        Nothin else to do
        Sit a while and watch the snow
        And think it all through
    
There's a million roads through life
Not one's a sure bet
The best you can hope for
Is the path of least regret
