Meet  me in the morning  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 the Moonshine
You  can take the high  road I  can take the low
The  later in the evening  The one  thing I believe  in
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 hear the bells
Deliver  me from Evil Forgiveness  and for love
You're  heading for confession And I'm  heading to the pub
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
But  I phoned her in the morning And I woke  her mudder up
She  wished that I would go  to bed I  only wished her well
And  then she told me Jesus  said that I'd  go straight to Hell
She's  following His  footsteps I'm  following my nose
We're  heading for the same place I'll see  you down  the road
We're  on the road to ruin its the only way  to go!
