Rules of the Road

Well these are the ropes

The tricks of the trade

The rules of the roadI'm one of the dopes

For whom they were made

I'm a fool of the roadYou follow that kiss

And recklessly miss

A bend of the road

Then suddenly this

The end of the roadLove is a hoax

A glittering string

Of little white lies

But these are the jokes

That's why they bring

Tears to your eyesWell, love often

Shows a funny return

The brighter it glows

The longer you burn

And Lord only knows

Love has little concern

For the fools of the roadBut that's how it goes

You live and you learn

The rules of the road
