Scenes From The Southside

The Road Not Taken

Down in the southwest Virginia town of Richlands

I fell in love with an Appalachian girl

She live 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 go up and down

You only see as far as the next big ridge


Every time I see her face

On the street in the hollow on the hill

Another time and another place

I feel her in my heart still

Every time 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 settles 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 always ran back to the rocks and the trees



Every time I see her face

On the street in the hollow on the hill

Another time and another place

I feel her in my heart still

Every time 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 I went back there after many years

So curious and 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


Every time I see her face

On the street in the hollow on the hill

Another time and another place

I feel her in my heart still

Every time 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
