LYRICS:
On the road of good intentions
I know I stumbled now and then
You kept giving me directions
And up I got and tried again
I know you’d say I never listened
And went my own sweet way instead
Believe me, I heard every word you said

I did everything you asked
Kept the money coming in
Never drank too much on Fridays
Never asked you where you’d been
I came running when you called
Even when it meant a fight
I vowed we’d get by or I’d die trying to get it right

You kept pushing hard to mould me
Into the image in your head
I only wanted you to hold me
You nearly strangled me instead
You cracked the whip to keep me moving
I wasn’t where I ought to be
Guess it proved hard for you to keep improving me

I did everything you asked
Kept the money coming in
Never drank too much on Fridays
Never asked you where you’d been
I came running when you called
Even when it meant a fight
I vowed we’d get by or I’d die trying to get it right

I tried to keep it going, no giving in
‘Cos you said “Winners never quit, quitters never win”
I said “I don’t know how we take off or whether we might stall
But we’ll get flying
Or I’ll die trying”

It’s way beyond my comprehension
How I could make such a vow
It got the Big Guy’s attention
I’m up here in Heaven with Him now
You sent me to my grave too early
So fall down on your knees and pray
Maybe now you’ll hear me when I say

I did everything you asked
Kept the money coming in
Never drank too much on Fridays
Never asked you where you’d been
I came running when you called
Even when it meant a fight
I vowed we’d get by or I’d die trying to get it right
