Lyrics
VERSE 1
Well, it looks like the end of the road babe
And I have to say it’s been one hell of a ride
Yeah, it looks like the end of the road babe
But I can’t see a future with you as my wife
What we had together is no more babe
And we both know the reasons why
Yeah, what we had together is no more babe
I could no longer live with your deceit and lies
CHORUS
We’ve been under a cloud for a while babe
And the bitterness we felt made life hell
We did our best to make it work babe
So, I’ll say goodbye, good luck, and farewell
I never thought it would come to this babe
But I could no longer continue living in my shell
I’m going to put myself out there, babe
So, I’ll say goodbye, good luck, and farewell
VERSE 2
No need to do no more of your crying babe
We’ve cried enough tears along the way
You treated me like I was a nobody babe
But this nobody is hitting the road today
Looking back, it wasn’t all bad babe
But relationships change along the way
You took me for granted for far too long babe
And you always insisted on having the final say
When I leave, you might hear a sigh babe
A sigh I’ve done so many times before
No doubt I’ll be a whistling a happy tune babe
Knowing I won’t be back anytime soon no more
REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE
Well, it looks like the end of the road babe
And I have to say it’s been one hell of a ride
Yeah, it looks like the end of the road babe
But I can’t see a future with you as my wife
What we had together is no more babe
And we both know the reasons why
Yeah, what we had together is no more babe
I could no longer live with your deceit and lies
CHORUS
We’ve been under a cloud for a while babe
And the bitterness we felt made life hell
We did our best to make it work babe
So, I’ll say goodbye, good luck, and farewell
I never thought it would come to this babe
But I could no longer continue living in my shell
I’m going to put myself out there, babe
So, I’ll say goodbye, good luck, and farewell
VERSE 2
No need to do no more of your crying babe
We’ve cried enough tears along the way

But this nobody is hitting the road today
Looking back, it wasn’t all bad babe
But relationships change along the way
You took me for granted for far too long babe
And you always insisted on having the final say
When I leave, you might hear a sigh babe
A sigh I’ve done so many times before
No doubt I’ll be a whistling a happy tune babe
Knowing I won’t be back anytime soon no more
REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE

Bio
My interest in writing began in 2002.
My first piece was published in 2004.
The following year I was invited to ‘The Hastings International Poetry Festival 2005’
To date I’ve had over sixty poems published on various themes in different publications.
I currently have three of my songs with two Music Publishing Companies.
I have recently retired and living the dream by the coast with my wife who I credit with giving me the belief that you write what inspires you and to always believe in yourself.
My other accolades include:
Finalist in the World Song Writing Awards 2024
A full-page interview with Starlight PR Studios based in Hollywood.
Also, I was included in the top one hundred upcoming songwriters for the future in 2024
