The Smoothest Road
The smoothest road I've traveled
is a mountain path with you.
We took some extra turns
but I sure enjoyed the view.
I can see the prairie highway
where every mile looks the same;
But if I had to do it over
I'd take this trail again.
The smoothest road I've traveled
is this mountainside with you.
And I'll treasure every moment
of the times that we've been through.
I've heard about the good road
and the race that's easy won;
But I've seen the champions' medals
and that's not why I have run.
The smoothest road I've traveled
in on the heights with you;
And I wish to go yet higher;
and I wish to go with you.
Now we'll be here together
until the day we die.
Then we will be forever
on Zion's mountainside.
It's the smoothest road I've traveled.
