Gently Does It lyrics

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)
