The Long Lonely Road to Nowhere

Lyrics

[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
