V1
Lets be honest for a minute now babe,
Lets call this what it is,
We’re on the sidewalk of divorce now, babe
Traveling uphill nearly 20 years
It seems the only way to end the day now, babe
Is to drive that one last straw
And build our strength on the last argument, now babe
And continue fighting who we are

Can we move this along now, please?

CH1
Cause it’s taking its toll on our connected souls
We’re fighting again, hey when will it end?
We’re talking in lies, while our relationship dies
We’re spending it all watching us fall
Planning what we’ll do now, with who and how
Living out this charade, this past hundred days

I just want to go home sometimes…

V2
Deep down I know we both wanted this babe,
It’s the next step to maintain our lives
I’m glad each of us made the first move, babe
Then pretended to act surprised
You see, it’s time to face my music, now babe
It’s been silent for too many years
All that’s left is me providing security now, babe
For your time you say you endured

Can we move on from here now, Please?

CH2
Cause it’s no longer a game, this time it’s for real
Planned just what to do, but not how to feel
Its uncharted terrain, you must feel the same
Entertaining ourselves with our petty games

Crossed the end of the line, now we’re just doin’ time
Don’t know what’s the use, there is no excuse
It’s in the attorney’s hands, I wish they’d understand
It’s affected our son, that can’t be undone

We’re way down Rock Island Road this time…
Lost down Rock Island Road this time…

BRIDGE
I wish you could just be you, like you were back when
OK with what we had, before it went to our heads
I wish I could be me, whoever that was
And live how believe, and still have your love

No sooner we’re through, between me and you
You devise a plan to bring me to you
You control my heart and keep me on the line
Makes you feel good, so you can craft a good time

Love to get through to you one time…

CH3
I’m here waiting in line, for you again to be mine
Know it’s not going to be, between you and me
Waves of disappointment and relief all in vain
Both fighting ourselves with this chronic pain

I still feel I’m a child, in this grown up life
Then asking our child for some good advice
Leaving him confused, it’s not his place to say
How to do the right thing, and get through the day

Too far down Rock Island Road this time…
Too far down Rock Island Road this time…

V5
The silence is broken now babe,
I guess it’s finally time to reveal
The truth and the wisdom of what’s goin’ on here, babe
So that you and I can heal
Got to figure out who to be at this moment in time now, babe
Find something to believe
And get past these lies and on with our lives now babe,
To a place beyond our grieve

Ahhh, we’re just fooling ourselves this time...

So on with the show, let’s see how this ends
Watch each kindle new lovers, start over again
Deal with visitation, for a couple more years
Our proudest moments, and our deepest fears

This‘ll take forever, who’s kidding who
OK I surrender, just tell me what to do
Ill try to stay strong, but can’t stay there for long
I’m just buyin’ time, using our equity line

…I’m really crying out loud this time….

Too far down Rock Island Road this time…
