Gently does it for a change
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
Your big boots stomped where small men fear to tread
I can hardly believe what I've just read
[chorus:]
A few years ago you've been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway to take you home
They say you can't travel anymore
But you've got the key to a new front door
Well they're glad to know you once said it all
And that's as high as you stand you've got so far to fall
[chorus:]
A few years ago you've been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway to take you home
We do not always see eye to eye
You get difficult, dangerous I'm damned if I lie
But we all pay the price
And they placed your ante high
[chorus:]
And a few years ago you've been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway to take you home
Gently does it for a change
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
Your big boots stomped where small men fear to tread
I can hardly believe what this letter said
[chorus:]
A few years ago you've been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway to take you home (2x)
