lyrics

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE BLUES

There’s a fire on the mountain, no peace in the valley
You can run down any road you choose
Take the high road, take the low road, take the alley
You’ll find that all roads,
All roads lead to the blues

Saturday Night pours you out into Sunday morning
You can hear the gospel rockin’ ‘em in the pews
Every hallelujah shouts out a warning
It says all roads,
All roads lead to the blues

Love is strong and there ain’t nothing stronger
It can mend a heart or break it right in two
You can hold on tight, hold on longer and longer
But you know that all roads,
All roads lead to the blues

Ask Mohammed, he’ll quote you verse and chapter
Ask Buddha under the Bodhi tree
Ask Moses when he comes down from the mountain
Ask Jesus climbing Calvary

When misery holds the dice and keeps rolling doubles
And there’s nothing that you know that you can use
You can learn from the man in need who smiles this troubles
‘Cause he knows that all roads
All roads lead to the blues

It ain’t easy to lose and laugh about it
It ain’t easy to keep smiling through the pain
It easy to trust the sun and never doubt it
When you’ve lost all you own to the wind and the rain

When you’ve seen your country in its darkest hour
People crying, people dying the nightly news
And there’s whole in the soul of themas who holds the power
Then you’ll know that all roads
All roads lead to the blues

It’s time to get up and get ourselves together
Stomp your foot, raise your voice, pay your dues
We’ve got to follow the sun, no matter what the weather
‘Cause you know that all roads
All roads lead to the blues
