Great Big Sea - Road To Ruin Lyrics
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 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
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

why does the dude from (what I'm assuming is) the cover art look like Tom holland?
I think that’s the best music and singing I ever heard keep it up
Meet me in the morning, 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 the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
But later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
We're 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 hear the bells
Deliver me from evil; forgiveness, and for love
You're heading for Confession, and I'm heading to the pub
You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
But later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
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 my chances, but I took one on the chin
I finally got her number, she wrote it on a cup
But I phoned her in the morning and I woke her mother up
She wished that I would go to bed, I only wished her well
And then she told me Jesus said that I'd go straight to Hell
She's following 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 the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
But later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
We're on the road to ruin, it's the only way to go
You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
But later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
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
