I've walked this road, went up and down
I've walked this road a thousand times
And 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, 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 that 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

It took some time but now I know
I won't go back down that old road
