WELL I FINALLY TOOK THE BOTTLE OFF THE SHELF
THOUGH I SAW YOUR PAIN I STILL DRANK TO YOUR HEALTH
FUNNY HOW THE TIME IT SLIPS AWAY
BEFORE WE KNOW IT IT’S THE DIMMING OF THE DAY
THAT OLD CAR YOU DROVE IS DUSTY BUT IT’S SOUND
MAN YOU SURE KNEW HOW TO GET AROUND
I CAN HEAR THE WINDSCREEN WIPERS BEATING TIME
AS THE ROAD UNFOLDS BENEATH THOSE WORN-OUT TYRES
Bridge:
IN TRUTH NO MATTER HOW THE RACE IS RUN
IT’S THE ROAD THAT MAKES US EQUAL EVERY ONE
SOME DAY WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WE SET OUR COMPASS WEST TOWARD THE SETTING SUN
THEM WINDS OF CHANGE KEEP BLOWING UP MY STREET
I COULD BAR THE DOORS BUT I KNOW THEY CAN’T BE BEAT
THERE’S A GATE THAT WE MUST ALL SOME DAY PASS THROUGH
BEST PAINT IT BRIGHTLY AND NOT IN SHADES OF BLUE
Rpt bridge
YEAH I FINALLY TOOK THE BOTTLE OFF THE SHELF
NOW I’M HALF CUT AND TALKING TO MYSELF
AND YOU’RE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE WHERE IT ALL BEGUN
GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE AS YOU SAIL INTO THE SUN

SHE CAUGHT THE BUS INTO THE CITY
WITH THE LAST FEW DOLLARS FROM THE JAR
NO CHOICE BUT TO WAIT FOR THE 438
SINCE THE BANKSTERS TOOK THE CAR
RODE SIX STOPS BEFORE SHE CHANGED HER MIND
AND ALIGHTED AT THE BAR
SHE KNEW HE’D BE THERE IN THE SMOKE-DIM LIGHT
KILLING TIME PLAYING CARDS
IT’S A LONG ROAD HOME FROM HURTSVILLE
SHE KNOWS IT LIKE THE BACK OF HER HAND
BEWEEN BRUISED HEARTS AND FADED ROSES
THERE’S SIX STOPS TO MAKE A PLAN
I DON’T THINK THE SUN IS COMING OUT TO PLAY
THOUGH THE WEATHERMAN CALLED IT FINE
WE COULD USE THE CHANGE SHE HEARD HIM SAY
BUT I’LL BE HERE COME RAIN OR SHINE
I WISH THEY’D FIX THE JUKEBOX
AND TURN ON THAT OLD NEON SIGN
HEY I DON’T CARE FOR MEMORIES ANYWAY
I KILL ‘EM ONE DRINK AT A TIME
IT’S A LONG ROAD HOME FROM HURTSVILLE
HE KNOWS IT LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND...
NOW SHE’S STANDIN’ IN THE SHADOWS
WONDERING WHAT’S LEFT TO LOSE
HE’S SITTING AT A TABLE
JUST STARING AT HIS SHOES
SHE SAID BABE I STOPPED IN HERE TO TELL YOU
THAT WE’VE STILL GOT TIME TO CHOOSE
EVEN BRUISED HEARTS AND FADED ROSES
WEAR BETTER THAN THE BLUES
IT’S A LONG ROAD HOME FROM HURTSVILLE
WE KNOW IT LIKE THE BACKS OF OUR HANDS
BETWEEN BRUISED HEARTS AND FADED ROSES
WE’VE SIX STOPS TO MAKE A PLAN
