I was rambling down the open road
When it came out of the blue
Two faiths stretched out before my eyes
Where the road had split in two
A life of certainty appeal 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 made
My leather 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
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 made
My leather chips fall
On wilderness road
I left my life to chance
Only now I see
It wasn't chance at all
