Song : Road To Ruin



 Send "Road To Ruin" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   the strobe was pulsin' in the
afterhours

the booze was flowin' free

when i first saw you across that room

on down by houston street

you were wrapped around a wiseguy

for all the world to see

ah you touched my heart across that room

then you came on home with me



the angels knew their business, boys,

they knew what they were doin'

with your blazin' eyes and your raven hair

on down the road to ruin

i gave up friends and family

i gave up all i knew

i followed you like jesus christ

on down the road to ruin



the dawn threw up across the sky

we kissed like boy and girl

but neither of us was innocent

we'd both been screwed by the world

we clung onto each other

for fear we'd drift away

ah you touched me to my heart's desire

on the dawning of that day



"johnny," you said,

"i'm clean outa me head

i can't take any more pain

if life's for livin' then what are we doin'

ploughin' these poisoned streets again and
again"



jenny, i didn't know what i had in you

how could i be so dumb to walk out on you now
what am i doin'

ploughin' these poisoned streets again and
again

and again and again and again and again and
again



iwonder where you are tonight

i hope you're feelin' fine

in some saloon or afterhours

the men around you like flies

i keep on searchin' everywhere

i know just what i'm doin'

ah you're somewhere out there right in front of
me

on down the road to ruin
