The first part was inspired by a minor family argument (“don’t be mad honey, he had good intentions”), the second part (“from your house you see the ocean”) driving the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu. Recorded live at the Mayton Inn in Cary, NC.

lyrics

Pavin’ the Road
© 2011 by R. Bowdon

Pavin’ the road / pavin’ the road / pavin’ the road to hell
Clinging to my many supersititions walk up
I rarely learn my lesson / but when I do, you know I learn it well
And I’m paving the road to hell with good intentions walk up
Good intentions are what led me to the state that I am in
Bargaining with mothers of invention walk up
I know the weather’s better in the other place but all my friends will be down there
So I’m pavin’ the road to hell with good intentions

From your house you see the ocean / Waves that crash and break
Like those waves my heart is breaking / Scattered in your wake
Out of sight is out of mind / a saying trite but true
You can’t see me going crazy / All because of you
Climb down from that cliffside castle / Join me here below
Take a chance on our romance / cause I still love you so

Pavin’ the road / pavin’ the road / pavin’ the road to hell
A prisoner of many mere conventions walk up
I don’t know any secrets but if I did you know I wouldn’t tell
And I’m paving the road to hell with good intentions walk up
I want to thank the folks who sent me on this rough and rocky road
With a truck full of their inhibitions walk up
My engine’s stayin’ in the lower gears cause I’m carryin’ a heavy load
Just pavin’ the road to hell with good intentions

In your house of lost ambition / Silence ebbs and flows
From that cold and lonely fortress / No one comes or goes
Don’t you ever / wish you’d never / left me to my fate?
You belong down here with me / I swear it’s not too late
From your house you see the ocean / Waves that crash and break
Like those waves my heart is breaking / Scattered in your wake
