Allan Taylor Gently Does It Lyrics

Gently does it, for a change
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
I can hardly believe what I just read

And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway, to take you home

They say you can't travel anymore
But you've got the key to a new front door
And don't you know, 'cause you once said it all
When you stand so high you've got so far to fall

And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long I hear they're building a highway, to take you home

Not everyone can look you eye to eye
'Cause you get difficult, dangerous, I'm damned if I lie
But we all pay the price, and they place your ante high

And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway, to take you home

And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
I hear they're building a highway, to take you home
