Down the Road (Rock and Roll Ain't Pretty) Lyrics

Down in the dumps and feeling blue
Sitting home got nothing to do
Help me-Just get me....
Down the road, down the road, that's where it's best

Homesick for the road again, homesick, it's our friend
When we're on tour we're at our best
Anywhere; North, South, East or West
We get the call, I get my wish
I'll pack my bags, you get my mail and feed my fish

We're down the road, down the road
That's where we're best
No worries there, no mess, no fuss
Take me anywhere, but get me on that bus!
We're down the road, on a quest, down the road
That's where we're best

A band possessed, we're always ready to strike
We like what we do, we do whatever we like
Just give us beer, liquor, money, chicks and a stage
Oh-Tay, time to rage-onstage, backstage
The bus or hotel
'Round and 'Round with Scatterbrain
The Carousel From Hell!
All-aboard; Check your morals at the door
Acts against nature, acts against god
Acts of sheer stupidity, we hit it hard
Every night-it's not a pretty sight

We're always ready to go off-a loaded gun
Rock 'n' Roll ain't pretty, but it sure is fun
In town after town, night after night
We're having fun with our friends, the fun never ends

We're down the road, down the road
That's where we're best
No worries there, no mess, no fuss
Take me anywhere, but get me on that bus!
We're down the road, on a quest, down the road
That's where we're best

On a quest for excitement, for a thrill
Coming to your town-moving in for the kill
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, more, more, more
We're just like little kids in a candy store
Gut us going, we just can't stop
Just like a crazy bull loose in a china shop
Acts against nature, acts against god
Acts of sheer stupidity, we hit it hard

Let's go! No worries there, no mess, no fuss
Take me anywhere, but get me on that bus!
We're down the road, I said down the road
There ain't no worries there
There ain't no mess, no fuss
Take me anywhere, but get me on that bus!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;
Dead or alive-down the road or bust!
We're always ready to go off-a loaded gun
Rock 'n' Roll ain't pretty, but it sure is fun
In town after town, night after night
We're having fun with our friends, the fun never ends

Here comes trouble and it looks like fun
Everyone's invited, everybody-everyone
In town after town, night after night
We're having fun with our friends, the fun never ends
