Three Roads With One Name

We learned to fight in the same old yard
Three boys with one deck of cards
We shared the smoke, we shared the shame
We learned each other’s names
One had a father with calloused hands
One had a house on the wealthy land
One had nothing but broken glass
And a mother who never asked
We swore we’d never let life divide
The blood we spilled on the same street side
But the world had plans we couldn’t see
And it pulled us apart like the sea
Three roads, one name
We all loved her just the same
One went to war, one went to school
One went to prison — broke the rule
And now we’re standing face to face
In the same damn old fucking place
With the same old ache
Three roads, one name
I came back with the desert in my eyes
I saw things that no man should memorize
I thought she’d wait, I thought she’d see
The man I had to be
I came back with a law degree
A silver tongue that set me free
I used to be better, I ain't no clean
Though wasn’t in the places they've been
I came back with the prison ink
Still on my hands, still on the brink
They say I’m nothing, say I’m lost
But I paid for every line I crossed
We stood in the yard where we used to play
And none of us knew what to say
She watched from the window, silent and still
Waiting for someone to break the will
Three roads, one name
We all loved her just the same
One went to war, one went to school
One went to prison — broke the rule
And now we’re standing face to face
In the same old place
With the same old ache
Three roads, one name
I could kill the thief — he took what’s mine
And the golden snake who crossed the line
I could take her, disappear
And live without the fear
But the thief was loyal when I bled
And the snake — he once stood in my stead
And she’s not a prize to claim
She’s the only one who knows my name
I could kill the soldier — he took the oath
And the golden bastard who betrayed us both
I could take her, burn it down
And wear the ashes like a crown
But the soldier never ran from a fight
And even the snake once stood for what was right
And she’s not a prize to win
She’s the one who sees the sin
I could kill them both and leave
Let the devil take what I achieved
I could take her, start anew
And bury everything I knew
But they never sold a friend for gold
They never traded trust for being bold
And she’s not a prize to buy
She’s the mirror to which I can’t lie
I’ll step aside if she says so
I’ll let them go if she says no I’ll fight them both if she won’t choose
But two of us will lose
Three roads, one name
We all loved her just the same
One went to war, one went to school
One went to prison — broke the rule
And now we’re standing in the rain
In the same old lane
With the same old pain
Three roads, one name
And two of us will walk away in shame
She never chose, she let us be
Three boys who couldn’t set her free
The yard is empty now, the doors are closed
But the love we had — nobody knows
And two of us will carry that alone
While only one is making home
…three roads, one name.
