Great Big Sea - Road To Ruin lyrics

rate me

Meet me in the morning and I'll be happy as a clown

You'll just be getting up and I'll still be getting down

The band is getting tired but they don't give a damn

so blow the girls a kiss and give the boys a hand

You can take the sunshine, I can take moonshine

You can take the high road, I can take the low

but later in the evening the one thing i believe in is

I'm on the road to ruin it's the only way to go

A penny in my pocket, a bucket in the well

then saturday was sunday and I could here the bells

Delivery me from evil, forgiveness and for love

you're headin for confession and I'm headin to the pub

You can take the sunshine, I can take moonshine

You can take the high road, I can take the low

but later in the evening the one thing i believe in is

I'm on the road to ruin it's the only way to go

Nancy in the corner, now I'm moving in

I thought I'd take me chances but I took one on the chin

I finally got her number, she wrote it on a cup

I phone her in the morning and woke her mother up

She wished that I would go to bed, I only wished her well

and then she told jesus said that I'd go straight to hell

she's followin his footsteps, I'm following my nose

we're heading for the same place I'll see you down the road

You can take the sunshine, I can take moonshine

You can take the high road, I can take the low

but later in the evening the one thing I believe in is

We're on the road to ruin it's the only way to go

You can take the sunshine, I can take moonshine

You can take the high road, I can take the low

but later in the evening the one thing I believe in is

We're on the road to ruin it's the only way to go

We're on the road to ruin it's the only way to go
