i have driven the road well traveled
i have tramped through muck and mud
I have lost my way and had to detour
but i never did stop to think of ...
but i never could stop to think of ...
i have walked a mile with your hand in mine
i've crossed that river by the bridge
i never thought i had let you suffer
but i never did stop to think of ...
but i never could stop to think of ...
i have never raised my hand in anger
i'm a peaceful and caring man
still somehow i managed to let you down
but i never did stop to think of ...
but i never could stop to think of ...
oh my baby
I hope you're safe tonight
I hope you're sleeping soundly
under the moonlight
solo
the politician just wants my vote
the preacher man just wants my cash
my car is chugging, it's run out of gas
but i never did stop to think of
but i never could stop to think of
how in this crude world of chances
can man just lose his faith
don't chuck it off that bridge
but i never did stop to think of
but i never could stop to think of
Oh my baby
I hope you're safe tonight
i hope youre sleeping soundly
under the moonlight
under the moonlight
i have driven the road well traveled
i have tramped through muck and mud
I have lost my way and had to detour
but i never did stop to think of ...
but i never could stop to think of ...
