Road to ruin


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
