Stairway To Heaven Or Highway To Hell
Albert Browning 1943 (Puritan Mines, WV)
It's a stairway to Heaven or a highway to Hell
Your love is drive me insane
Each day we're together it gets harder to tell
If I'm on the stairway to Heaven or highway to Hell.
I was doing just fine climbing one step at a time
From the misery when our love life failed
Why'd you come back here driving me out of my mind
You've got me back on the bottle and the highway to Hell
You said I should know you shouldn't have to tell
Why you're screaming, mad and upset
But I can't read you mind so I'm back on the wine
I'm off the stirway to Heaven and on the four-lane to Hell.
