The Road to Ruin

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

One night we drove away from the city, and we talked for miles

Windows down, we roamed through the back roads, looking at the sky

We didn't pass a single car, but we must have seen a million stars

You asked a question and I didn't reply

And when I think about the way it was

Well, we just couldn't cut it

I can never give you enough

And you were tired of running

And don't you think about what could've been

'Cause we just couldn't do it

It didn't matter how far we went

'Cause we were on the road to ruin, mm-mm

Why do I make everything harder when it's hard enough?

I guess you do what you gotta when you don't know how to trust

There were nighttime vigils that didn't end

Until the cool of the morning wind

I could almost dare to believe in love

And when I think about the way it was

Well, we just couldn't cut it

I can never give you enough

And you were tired of running

And don't you think about what could've been

'Cause we just couldn't do it

It didn't matter how far we went

'Cause we were on the road to ruin

We were on the road, oh-whoa

Every mile was rough, like a shot of whiskey that burns going down

Every exit sign felt like showtime and still, sometimes it's hard to remember

But it's over now, oh

It's over now, ooh-ooh, oh-oh

Pain, when I think about the way it was

Well, we just couldn't cut it

I can never give you enough

And you were tired of running

And don't you think about what could've been

'Cause we just couldn't do it

It didn't matter how far we went

'Cause we were on the road to ruin

We were on the road

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
