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
