Hit The Highway

We've been, going together
Too long to be vague
When there's something to say
If it's not now, then it's never
So i'll say it straight out
'cos i have no doubt, no doubt

Let's get married
I love you and i want to stay with you
Let's get married
Have kids and grow old and grey with you
Let's get married
Hold hands, walk in the park
You can get a cat as long as it barks

We know, other people
Who drifted apart
Who broke each others hearts
But we ain't other people
So we'll do things our way
We're gonna be o.k.
We're gonna be more than o.k.

Let's get married
We're ready for tying the knot
Let's get married
Set the seal on the feelings we've got
Let's get married
We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue
Yeah, it's just a piece of paper but it says "i love you"
For the good times
For the days when we can do no wrong
For the moments when we think we can't go on
For the family
For the lives of the children that we've planned
Let's get married
C'mon darlin', please take my hand

And i'll be the one
Who's by your side
I'll be the one
Still taking pride
When we're old if they ask me
"how do you define succes?"
I'll say,
You meet a woman
You fall in love
You ask her and
She says "yes"

Let's get married
I love and i want to stay with you
Let's get married
Have kids and grow old and grey with you
Let's get married
Hold hands when we walk in the park
All right you can get a cat just as lang as it barks
For the good times
For the days when we can do no wrong
For the bad times
For the moments when we think we can't go on
For the family
For the lives of the children that we've planned
Let's get married
C'mon darlin', please take my hand

The life that i've been living
From the day i first drew breath
Has been my way of forgetting
I'm on the journey to my death
You make my soul rise up
You make my eyes to see
When i place my faith in you
And i lose my belief in me

The less i believe in me
The more i believe in thee
The less i believe in me
The more i believe in thee

I don't believe in beads or crystals
Instant karma or mother earth
I don't believe that what i think
Makes any difference to what i'm worth
I don't believe in reincarnation
I'm not coming back as a flower
I don't bow my head to kings or priests
'cos i believe in your higher power

The less i believe in me
The more i believe in thee
The less i believe in me
The more i believe in thee

Oh you've given me a plan
That i don't understand
'cos i've wandered over half the world
But i've remained an ignorant man
One thing that i know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love won't be enough
Good deeds can't save my soul

Well i'm not afraid of dying
But i am afraid of you
Because you hear me when i'm lying
And you see the things i do
So the hands go round the clock
As the light goes from the room
And i can't help thinking to myself
I'm going to find out much to soon

Oh you've given me a plan
That i don't understand
'cos i've wandered over half the world
But i've remained a ignorant man
One thing that i know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love won't be enough
Good deeds can't save my soul
I believe etc. etc......

From birth to five, you're learning
From five to ten, you're playing
By the time you're fifteen
You're never wrong
But then you turn around
And it's all gone, your childhood

Now daddy knows what he's saying
You're in my arms and i'm praying
That i'll be given the strength and time
To make yours just as happy as mine
Your childhood

Every morning
Your crying ends my sleep
I kid on i'm angry
But it's not a feeling i can keep
There's no light outside
I don't care 'cos i know it's true
That in our house
The sun shines out of you
You've got your mother's looks
Your're a beautiful little girl
You'll break boys hearts
All over this world
Then one day you'll walk out the door
And i know you'll break mine
You'll break mine

From birth to five, you're learning
From five to ten, you're playing
By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong
But then you turn around and it's all gone
Your childhood

So you're trying to talk
Any day now you'll walk
You'll be running around
Make me act like a clown
'cos i live and i breathe
For my little girl
Our little girl
The most important thing is this whole wide world
Now daddy know what he's saying
Your in my arms and i'm praying
That i'll be given the strength an time
To make yours just as happy as mine
Your childhood

You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out don't you
You just hold your hand out don't you
That hope never leaves you
'cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesn't)
But it doesn't in mine
(i've been stumbling)
I've been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind

You say it lights every pathway
Shows me how to live life
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
(but i can't)
But i can't put my faith in
(your words)
Your words and demands
(i believe)
I believe in god alright
It's folk like you i just can't stand

You don't have to try and scare me
To reinforce my faith sir
'cos i know that one day
I'll stand before my maker

(and it i'm found)
And if i'm found wanting
(when my case)
When my case is heard
(it'll be)
It'll be by the author
Not some interpreter of his words

You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out don't you
You just hold your hand out don't you
That hope never leaves you
'cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesn't)
But it doesn't in mine
(i've been stumbling)
I've been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind
Yeah the light just made me blind

These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue

These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
And if you
Would let them hold you
How grateful i will be

These arms of mine
The are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
The are wanting
Wanting to hold you

And if you
Just let them hold you
How grateful i will be
How grateful i will be
C'mon c'mon bady
Just be my woman
Just be my lover
I need someone
Somebody to hold me tight
And i need
Your warm, warm loving arms
Around me tonight

Just let me hold you
Just let me hold you
Let my arms hold you
Just let them hold you
Please let me hold you
Just let me hold you
C'mon let me hold you
Just let me hold you
Please let me hold you
Just let me hold you

You're a grown woman
Good at what you do
I'm happy as hell
When i'm alone whit you
As you stroke my body
And soothe my brow
With everything
That the law will allow
I pray "don't turn out like your mother"

(repeat)

Im a grown man
Over 21
I've got an ugly face
But i have a lot of fun
So if spill a glass
Or break a dish
I hear your voice
And i make this wish
Please "don't turn out like your mother"

Don't turn out
Don't turn out
Don't turn out like your mother
I couldn't stand it
And i'll be damned if
I'm gonna live with another

So many woman
Give you so much
Civilized ways
And a gentle touch
A different perspective
That's as bright as a button
But then you wake up one morning
And it all counts for nothing
Cos she's turned into her mother

Don't turn out
Don't turn out
Don't turn out like your mother
I couldn't stand it
And i'll be damned if
I'm gonna live with another

It's not the way she looks
It's not the food she cooks
Her kind of indignation
Don't cause me trepidation
But to live with a woman like this
Would take a masochist
Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed

(repeat)

You're a grown woman
Good at what you do
I'm happy as hell
When i'm alone with you
As you stroke my body
And soothe my brow
With everything
That the law will allow

Im a grown man
Over 21
I've got an ugly face
But i have a lot of fun
So if spill a glass
Or break a dish
Don't get on to me
Like some haranguing witch

Don't turn out like your mother
Don't turn out
Don't turn out
Don't turn out like your mother
I couldn't stand it
And i'll be damned if
I'm gonna live with another

It's not her looks
Or the way she cooks
That wakes me up in a cold sweat
It's just the knowledge
That if it happened
I couldn't drink enough to forget

Don't turn out (etc)
Don't end up (etc)
