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 could 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.

You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine;
You can take the high road, I could 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.

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 mother 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.

You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine;
You can take the high road, I could take the low;
The later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
We're on the road to ruin, it's the only way to go.

You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine;
You can take the high road, I could take the low;
The later in the evening, the one thing I believe in:
We're on the road to ruin, it's the only way to go.
We're on the road to ruin, it's the only way to go.
