On The Road Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I stood there waiting as you drove by
Sad but true
All the years that we've been friends
Shame on you
Now times are rough when you're not around
And I wish you well with the new life you've found
But someday, baby
I'll see you on the road down
In times of trouble it's easy to turn and walk away
Life is too tough
Guess it's too much for you to stay
I guess it's safe to say I'll be around
It'll sure be hard to stay in the same town
But someday, baby
I'll see you on the road down
On the road down
I'll see you
Should you decide
He's not the one
On the road down
Believe me
If you change your mind
I'll be here for you
(Guitar solo)
Promises, promises
Out the door
I guess you've lost faith
Well I've tried and I've tried
To get you to stay
With no saving grace
I hope that things will turn around
If you're not happy with the new love you've found
But someday, baby
I'll see you on the road down
On the road down
I'll see you
Should you decide
He's not the one
On the road down
Believe me
If you change your mind
On the road down
I'll see you
Should you decide
He's not the one
On the road down
Believe me
If you change you're mind
I'll be here for you
Call me
Anytime of day
It's all right
I'll be waiting by the phone if you need me
Baby, it's all right
Hey
Heyyyyyyy!!!!
