Rocky Road - Nick Lowe

When I set out this was just a track

Now it’s a rocky road

I left so fast I didn’t even pack

I just hit this rocky road

The flint and shale is cold and cruel

On this rocky road

But its spark and spite I can overrule

Walkin' this rocky road — yeah

Walk this rocky road

It began one morning when I woke re-born

Walk this rocky road

Felt like chains that had bound me, from me had been torn

Walk this rocky road

The rut I was in had once been a groove

Walk this rocky road

I said to my feet 'C'mon feet, time to move.'

Then we hit this rocky road — yeah

Hit this rocky road

And the way may be pitted

And the climb steep

And the mountains soaring

And the valleys deep

But I’m driven by a memory from way back when

That says I’m never goin back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I first started out this was just a track

Now its a rocky road

Fixed my eyes face forward and I didn’t look back

I just hit this rocky road

There’s some thumpin' and bumpin' from a thunderstorm

On this rocky road

But I’ll keep on walkin' 'til I make it home

I’m gonna walk this rocky road — yeah

Walk this rocky road
