Road Songs For Lovers (2017)












Happy On The Road lyrics - Chris Rea

Well I'm rolling down the highway
Smile upon my face
All the things that hurt me
Disappear without a trace
Only me on the inside
And the big wide open sky
I'm always happy at the wheel
I see it all go drifting by

Ten thousand sorrows
Ten million tears
All part of the making
How you got to be here
Relax, listen to her engine
Leave your troubles for awhile
Dream your darkest secret
The one that always makes you smile

I'm happy, I'm happy on the road
Yeah, I'm happy, I'm happy on the road

Sometimes you're standing still
Let your troubles do the same
Let the pressure fall away
Let it go and start again
There's only me on the inside
And the big wide open sky
I'm always happy at the wheel
See it all go drifting by

I'm happy on the road
I'm happy on the road, yeah
I'm happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah
I'm happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah yeah
I'm happy, I'm happy on the road
I'm happy on the road, yeah
Happy, I'm happy on the road
I'm happy on the road
I'm happy on the road
Well I'm happy, I'm happy on the road
I'm happy on the road, yeah
Happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Nothing Left Behind lyrics - Chris Rea

I'm going way past tomorrow
Way past yesterday
Away from all my sorrows

'Til the chains in love fall away
I'm gonna go so far
'Til my sense is lose
All trace of space and time
Going so far ahead
'Til there's nothing left behind

I got a big blue sky ahead
I'm always looking for a brand new day
The night brings the red taillights
Feel the chains of love fall away

I'm gonna go so far
'Til my sense is lose
All trace of space and time
Going so far ahead
'Til there's nothing left behind

Gonna sit on the high wind
Gonna let myself go
Gonna fly 'til there's nothing
Nothing left below
Gonna drive through this dark night
'Til tomorrow becomes today
'Til the mirrors got the sunrise
'Til the blue sky kills the grey
'Til there's nothing left behind

Gonna go so far
'Til my sense is lose
All trace of space and time
Going so far ahead
'Til there's nothing
Nothing left behind
Going so far ahead
'Til there's nothing left behind
'Til there's nothing left behind
Ooh, yeah

Road Songs For Lovers lyrics - Chris Rea

Sunburned feet on the dashboard
Suntan legs brown and bare
Suntan oil mixed with gasoline
Linger in the summer air

Road songs for lovers
A dream that came true
Road songs for lovers
It was me and you

Salty skin tastes of open sea
Left us forever wanting more
Trapped in the groove of each other
Head up to a far away shore
Silhouette of a beat up truck
Deep blue shadows left behind
Love came to us so easy
Locked in a distant time

Road songs for lovers

Road songs for lovers
A dream that once came true
Road songs for lovers
Me and you, yeah
Close your eyes and remember
Remember when
Road songs for lovers
Let's go back again
Ooh, ooh
Road songs for lovers
Let's go back again, yeah
Road songs for lovers
Let's go back again, yeah, yeah
Road songs for lovers

Money lyrics - Chris Rea

It's all about the money
How much you can make
All about money

How much can take
The cold fear of losing
The game that you play
It's there in the morning
And the end of the day

Money
Whoa, money

It's all about dreaming
What you think that you need
You got your eye on the big one
But the truth you can't see
'Til you find out what matters
At the end of the day
A deal with the devil
Is the price that you pay

Whoa, Money
Talkin' 'bout money
Whoa, money
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money

Oh, Money
I need something to buy
Money, you better ask yourself why
Money
I've got so much to pay
The house and the school fees
I gotta get away

(Talkin' 'bout)
Money
We're talkin' 'bout money
Ooo, we're talkin' bout money
Yeah, yeah
Talkin about money
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Money)
(Talkin' 'bout money)

Whoa, money
Talkin' 'bout money
I'm talkin' 'bout money
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Talkin' 'bout money
Talkin' 'bout money
Yeah, money
I'm talkin' 'bout money
Gotta get me some money
Oh, I need so much money
Talkin' 'bout money
Talkin' 'bout, bout, bout money

Talkin' talkin' bout money

Two Lost Souls lyrics - Chris Rea

She was tired of it all
But she never let it show
If a half chance ever came up

She was ready to go
He was drowning in sadness
And had forgot all the reasons why
He often faked a tiny display
That put a tear in his eye

They went way past the turn off
And into the night
Two lost souls
Looking for a light

How it all ended
Nobody knows
The alarm started ringing
When they failed to show
Did they end up being happy
No one can say
Two lost souls in the dark night
Looking for day

Sometimes it can happen
Who dare say it's wrong or right
Some poor souls trying to fight it
And keep their heartache
Clean out of sight

Two scared souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Say a prayer for those lost souls
Pray it was all worth the fight
Two lost souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Two lost souls in the darkness
Two lost souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Say a prayer for the two lost souls
Looking for a light
Yeah, two lost souls

Rock My Soul lyrics - Chris Rea

Well, they sitting in a gridlock
With what's left of the day
Locked in they silence

Their minds drift away
He sees the clouds
And she sees a big wide sky
He sees it all getting away
But she sees it fly

Well I'm looking for an answer
Come on and rock my soul
Yeah, I'm looking for a reason
Come on and rock my soul

He hates the boat he's sailin'
While she loves the sea
He fears a hole in the wall
She sees a way of breakin' free
Looks like they're on their last chance
They're about to let go
Seems like nothing's gonna save them
Lord, please tell me, so I'll know

Well I'm lookin' for an answer
Come on and rock my soul
Yeah, I'm looking for a reason
Come on and rock my soul
They got tears that burned they heart out
Come on and rock my soul
I'm a sinner, hear me cry out
Come on and rock my soul

They need to find a good time
They need to find a place to play
Change of life is needed
Lord, please tell me there's a way

Well, I'm lookin' for an answer
Come on and rock my soul
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a reason
Come on and rock my soul
Rock my soul

Come on and rock my soul
Come on and rock my soul
Come on and rock my soul
Yeah I'm lookin' for an answer
Come on and rock my soul
I'm lookin' for a reason
Come on and rock my soul
Rock my soul
Come on and rock my soul

Moving On lyrics - Chris Rea

Well, somebody told me
Something better done that way
So, don't try to hold me
'Cause all I got to say is
Can't stay

Gotta be movin'
I gotta be movin'
Oh, I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Next time you look around
You may find me gone
I gotta be
I got to be movin' on

Free
Nothing can hold me down
And if loving is what you've found
Don't try to change it

I got to be
Got to be movin' on
I gotta be
Got to be movin' on
Movin' on
Whenever you see me
You'll know me by this song
'Cause I gotta be
I gotta be movin' on

Free
I got to be movin' on
Wherever it takes me
Wherever it goes

I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Yeah, I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Movin' on

Got to be movin' on
I got to be movin' on
So much learnin'
So much to see
Yesterday gone for ever
Tomorrow is free
So I got to be movin' on

Got to be movin' on
I gotta be
Got to be movin' on
Got to be movin' on
Got to be movin' on
Got to be movin' on
Got to be movin' on

The Road Ahead lyrics - Chris Rea

Some poor souls always need to know
A place to run and hide
Stepping out into the cold heart rain
A fear they keep locked deep inside

Me I gotta go
I got so many reasons I can't stay
And don't matter what you do
Don't matter what you say
Give me the road ahead any day
Give me the road ahead
Ahead

Could be a dream that won't come true
Could be the truth that's haunting you
Always looking behind to see how far
As long as we're moving man I don't care where we are

'Cause I gotta go
I got so many reasons I can't stay
Don't matter what you do
Don't matter what you say
Give me the road ahead any day
Give me the road ahead
Ahead

Two ways of thinking
To go out or stay
I always need to find out
No matter what it's saying
Give me the road ahead
Ahead
Ahead

Ahead
Give me the road ahead
Give me the road ahead

And don't matter what you do
Don't matter what you say
Give me the road ahead any day
Give me the road
Give me the road
Give me the road ahead
Ahead
Ahead
Give me the road ahead
Ahead

Last Train lyrics - Chris Rea

This is the last train
Ain't no other chance
This is the last move
Ain't no other dance

It don't know about your sorrows
And less about your pain
It's just the last train

Nobody knows where it's going
Nobody knows where it's been
It carries all your bad luck
It carries all your pain

You know you can't stay here
Go through it all again
Better jump on the last train

This ain't the last train home
Or where that might have been
All you know is you can't be here
For a fight that you can't win

You know it's coming to ya
It's only you that's left to blame
Wherever it's going better jump on the last train

Oh, the ice wind of fear
Feel it moving all around you
Feel it coming near took a lifetime
But now it's found you

The acid end it's coming
It's screaming out your name
Oh, you better jump on the last train

Now your skin is going to bleed
All around your poisoned chains
You've used up every little dirty trick
Till nothing else remains

All that's coming down on you
Is a mess of tears and pain
Ooh, you better get on that last train

You got everything to lose
You got nothing to gain
The only thing for sure
Ooh, this is the last train

Yeah, you better jump on the last train
Yeah, yeah, you better jump on the last train
You better jump on the last train

Angel Of Love lyrics - Chris Rea

Everybody got their tales of war
Everybody got their cross to bear
Restless souls in a traveler's tale

Sure we all been there

These streets of hope
Have forgotten my name
It was such a long time ago

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
Angel of love

I'm the prince of the motel chain
I'm the king of the highway code
My distant dream of a good life
I left way back down that road

I need a slow song
So I can dance in your arms
I need a friend tonight
I won't do you no harm

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
Angel of love

The song of the highway
Always sings of a love you know
The old time and achin'
Of what never came true

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
So many times
Through the tears and the pain
Take this broken heart
Make him smile again
Angel of love
Dance with me
Oh, my angel of love, yeah
Dance with me

Breaking Point lyrics - Chris Rea

No one saw it coming
The breaking point
There'd been heartaches before

But never a breaking point
What made him turn
What made him turn and walk away
Last time we saw him
He had nothing much to say

Now I guess we'll never know
The breaking point

He never said nothing
Cause he had nothing left to say
Never known to quite
Deep down, something snapped and broke away
There'd been heartaches before
We always laughed at the price of love we pay
I wonder
The breaking point

They say when you break down
You are the last to know
No cries for attention
Seems like he just let it go

The breaking point
The breaking point

The heart of a lion
Always known for his smile
If somebody needed
He'd always go the extra mile
The smallest of cracks
And the difference it makes
When you're close to the edge
A sweet small kiss is all that it takes
They saw him walking away
And take one last look
Now all we can do is pray
And wonder what it took

But I guess we'll never know
I guess we'll never know
The breaking point
Ah, the breaking point
Oh, the breaking point
God save us from the breaking point
God save us from the breaking point
Yeah, yeah

Beautiful lyrics - Chris Rea

Beautiful
That's what you are to me
No matter what they say

It's what you'll always be

Love calls your name
And I must follow
Where it goes
Because

Beautiful
Is all that I can see
Although there is no chance for us
And we must set each other free
I'll always know
Deep inside of me
You'll always be
Beautiful

This hopeless game
We try to play
To get along
But there is no way
We could make it
We could stay
Beautiful, mm
Beautiful

All I can do
All I can say
Now that it's love
At the end of the day
Remember your face
The wonderful time
No one can replace
You used to be mine

Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
