This Road

I've walked this road, went up and down I've walked this road a thousand times I've walked up and 'round the bend To find this road it has no end The road is hard the road is long It tears you up and wears you down It feeds you hope and then make you blue This dirty road where I met you I saw your face in filthy bars Where I fed my broken heart And when I finally caught your eye I knew a part in me had died And with my mind too dim to think I took your hand and I paid your drink And then we strolled on to my home A little further down the road Soon comes the time when you stop to bother Slowly the wine it'll turn to water It's hard to help it even though you know Soon you'll be back on that old road A few years later down that road A thousand fights and slamming doors A thousand lies that I did tell Hope you still love me anyway You know there's changes bound to come You got me scared and I did run It took some time but now I know I won't go back down that old road
