The Siren Tower - The Road lyrics

It was '85, I was working North Mackay Pushing trucks through the night... I wanted to die Hallelujah for the d**, they can cure ya But ya gotta wait for a while Then I met this girl, had a two month whirlwind romance It went down in flames Hallelujah, well a child will mature ya I learnt that the hard way Baby don't go Don't leave your old man for a life on the road Don't go, don't leave your own story untold Daughter you say you don't know me at all Before you came along there was nothing to know Bella don't go Then by '89 we were down near Jindabyne I'd work, your mother drank, we started to fight Hallelujah for the ba*tard that screwed her Probably saved my life She walked out the door turned and said, “She's all yours,” God I've tried, I've made some mistakes Hallelujah for a love that can move you Don't let that go Baby don't go Don't leave your old man for a life on the road Don't go, don't leave your own story untold Daughter you say you don't know me at all Before you came along there was nothing to know Bella don't go Baby before you go, it's long hard road to walk alone Baby before you go, it's long hard road to walk alone Baby don't go Don't leave your old man for a life on the road Don't go, don't leave your own story untold Daughter you say you don't know me at all Before you came along there was nothing to know Bella don't go
