Rules of the Road
A substantial poportion of my recent songs have been written in the back of Mr Kumar's car, driving around off the beaten track in India...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
E Head for the mountains or take to the sky
E No point in stopping or asking why
B No point in wondering where the river flowed -A
E You just got to follow the rules of the road
The air is burning but you're feeling chill
It's like there's something trying to bend your will
No point complaining bout your heavy load
You just got to follow the rules of the road

Flashback - try to forget it
Flashback - don't you regret it
Flashback - don't weep for the sinners
Flashback - they're just beginners on the road
It's time for you to take up the strain
Sort it out, clear out your brain
Get your head straight before your mind explodes
Lo just got to follow the rules of the road
Flashback - intimate slavery
Flashback - Cowardice or bravery
Flashback - Darker dominion
Flashback - Change your opinion
Of the road
You got the power to make it OK
There must be some magic words you can say
You know you're always welcome in my humble abode
You just got to follow the rules of the road
