Melancholy Road
When life gets tough and the road gets hard
And you can't find a brush to sweep your own back yard
The black dog barks and the vultures sing
You hide like a crow with a busted wing
Sometimes we all take a ride down Melancholy Road
Where the broken-hearted and the lonely go
Where the undertakers want to take you home
To the very last house on Melancholy Road
When you ain't got a penny for your bus ride home
And the hole in your sole is in the danger zone
You got no friend to take you by the hand
As you're sinking deeper in the stinking sand
The Sun don't shine on Melancholy Road
The clocks don't work and the Moon don't glow
And your demons gather to pick your bones
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
As the headlights burn down Melancholy Road
The rain falls hard and the cold winds blow
Keep your hand on your heart and your eyes on your soul
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
Hide in the shadow in a crowded room
The Devil in the detail digging your tomb
From the rising of the Sun to the paling of the Moon
Contemplating your impending doom
Sometimes we all take a ride down Melancholy Road
Where the bends are fast and the brakes are slow
Your blood will spill and their tears will fall
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
And you can't find a brush to sweep your own back yard
The black dog barks and the vultures sing
You hide like a crow with a busted wing
Sometimes we all take a ride down Melancholy Road
Where the broken-hearted and the lonely go
Where the undertakers want to take you home
To the very last house on Melancholy Road
When you ain't got a penny for your bus ride home
And the hole in your sole is in the danger zone
You got no friend to take you by the hand
As you're sinking deeper in the stinking sand
The Sun don't shine on Melancholy Road
The clocks don't work and the Moon don't glow
And your demons gather to pick your bones
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
As the headlights burn down Melancholy Road
The rain falls hard and the cold winds blow
Keep your hand on your heart and your eyes on your soul
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
Hide in the shadow in a crowded room
The Devil in the detail digging your tomb
From the rising of the Sun to the paling of the Moon
Contemplating your impending doom
Sometimes we all take a ride down Melancholy Road
Where the bends are fast and the brakes are slow
Your blood will spill and their tears will fall
By the very last house on Melancholy Road
