But that can't match the rest of the lyrics.
Los caminos de la vida relates to living and life itself and how one thing leads to another, but not with our choices beyond those you have to make as a part of life.

I think it does, Alec. The paths we choose may take us to unexpected destinations, now that I think of it, there is a closer term: the highway of life.

Yes, that's more like it, when it's not used to mention surpassing others or to talk of roadblocks in it (there's always that competitive, unkind, anti-philosophical edge).

Thanks for the song. I found "the highway of life" to overlap with uses of "los caminos de la vida". In other occasions they differ. But I'm now convinced it would be the best translation for most cases.
The highway of life Wasn't the way I thought, The way I dreamt it, The way I believe it to be ... Does that make sense?
