I was rambling down the open road When it came out of the blue Two fates stretched out before my eyes Where the road had split in two
A life of certainty appealed to me But I was bound by a different code So I gathered up my hopes and dreams And I headed down wilderness road
On wilderness road I threw shadows to the wind Chased after a star Stopping at nothing Wherever they may Mmh, I let the chips fall On wilderness road I left my life to chance Only now I see It wasn’t chance at all
Well she came along Like the blush of dawn All pink and dreamy eyed And then an angel whispered “Danger, danger” But true love won’t be denied
And now at times when my heart grows heavy And she’s there to lighten my load Mmh, I breathe a sigh and think So glad that I, traveled on wilderness road
On wilderness road I threw shadows to the wind Chased after a star Stopping at nothing Wherever they may Mmh, I let the chips fall On wilderness road I left my life to chance Only now I see It wasn’t chance at all
