Deadly Gentlemen - The Road Is Rocky lyrics

(G. Liszt, based on Rocky Road Blues by Bill Monroe) Love’s sort of a blood sport Pay to play Beat, be beaten Fade, fade away Dad said son It’s the song not the singer The road’s rocky Boy don’t bring her My heart’s been broken And wracked by grieving I can take it I’m getting her back by leaving I had a good love And it turned out worthless I feel like a clown At a burned out circus It’s not my fault She blinded me with fineness No whining I finally know what the time is I’m happy to say That I learned the lie I’m on a highway driving Her turn to cry The road is rocky but it’s time to roam The road is rocky but it’s time to roam Some other man’s got my woman It’s rocky but I’ll find a home I’d stay awake until daybreak It’d make my back throb She’d come back Talking like a wack job Too many nights Of her faking and treachery Been steadily breaking And making a wretch of me She made me love her She made me suffer I’m through with this cheating I’m through with the mistreating The road is rocky but it’s time to roam The road is rocky but it’s time to roam Some other man’s got my woman It’s rocky but I’ll find a home The road is rocky but it won’t be long The road is rocky but it won’t be long Some other man’s got my woman I’m gone
