The Long Lonely Road to Nowhere
Suzzy & Maggie Roche
GENRE
[Verse 1]
I bought a book
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People:
Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
It's a number one bestseller
Ten million copies sold
I guess the guy who wrote it
Has his share of personal change
[Verse 2]
There's a quote on the cover
From the editor in chief of Success Magazine
Steve DeGarmo (Steve DeGarmo, Steve DеGarmo)
I wish I had met Steve
Whеn I was young and pretty
I might've tricked him into marrying me
[Chorus]
You may think that's a mean way of thinking
And sweetheart I know that you're right
But I'm on a long lonely road to nowhere tonight
[Verse 3]
I read the book
And as you might have suspected
I have none of the habits
Of the highly effective
As a matter of fact almost to a T
I'm exactly the opposite of who I should be
[Chorus]
Am I laughing or crying
After all these years of trying
I'm on a long lonely road to nowhere tonight
The stars are shining bright
[Bridge]
Who made the rules of the world
And why am I such a big bad rule breaker
Always giving the joint away
Heart and soul with no taker
It's a long lonely, long lonely, long lonely road
I'm on tonight
[Verse 4]
But I recommend this book
For those who may
Wish to call a rose by another name
With a gentle tip for a very tough game
The more things change
The more they stay the same
[Chorus]
Yeah I'm laughing and crying
After all these years of trying
I'm on a long lonely road to nowhere tonight
But it's alright
[Outro]
Don't you know that long lonely road to nowhere
Is a powerful lesson in personal change
Highly effective too
