The Road by The Siren Tower Lyrics

It was ’85, I was working North Mackay
Pushing trucks through the night... I wanted to die
Hallelujah for the drugs, they can cure ya
But ya gotta wait for a while
Then I met this girl, had a two month whirlwind romance
It went down in flames
Hallelujah, well a child will mature ya
I learnt that the hard way
Baby don’t go
Don’t leave your old man for a life on the road
Don’t go, don’t leave your own story untold
Daughter you say you don’t know me at all
Before you came along there was nothing to know
Bella don’t go
Then by ’89 we were down near Jindabyne
I’d work, your mother drank, we started to fight
Hallelujah for the bastard that screwed her
Probably saved my life
She walked out the door turned and said, “She’s all yours,”
God I’ve tried, I’ve made some mistakes
Hallelujah for a love that can move you
Don’t let that go
Baby don’t go
Don’t leave your old man for a life on the road
Don’t go, don’t leave your own story untold
Daughter you say you don’t know me at all
Before you came along there was nothing to know
Bella don’t go
Baby before you go, it’s long hard road to walk alone
Baby before you go, it’s long hard road to walk alone
Baby don’t go
Don’t leave your old man for a life on the road
Don’t go, don’t leave your own story untold
Daughter you say you don’t know me at all
Before you came along there was nothing to know
Bella don’t go
