Road To Ruin Lyrics - Safe Upon The Shore - Great Big Sea

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 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 

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 

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 

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
