Lyrics Left for Dead on the Road of Love - Don McLean

Left for Dead on the Road of Love

Well I’ve been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All’s fair in love and war
Well I’m an honest man and I try to be true
I did unto her like I’ll do unto you
Now you prefer to tell me we’re through
I’m bleedin' through my shirt and tie
I’m bleedin' and I’ll tell you why
Well I’ve been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All’s fair in love and war
Well now who is the guy and when did he come?
When did he start to go beatin' your drum?
Well he’s hittin' on you.
I’m feelin' numb
And she don’t believe a word I told her
I’m cryin' on a gravel shoulder
Well I’ve been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All’s fair in love and war
Watch what you’re doin'
Look where you’re goin'
Give me a signal
Some way of knowin'
Well now who’s at the wheel in the life that drove by
I could swear it was her made me shift into high
She’s got those dangerous curves
And they’re wrackin' my nerves
She always wiggles and swerves
She’s gonna give her driver everything he deserves
Well now who could want this to lie here alone
With a palate of bricks, a pillow of stone
Well to think that one kiss pulled me out o' my zone
And I wonder what’s the change inside her?
This road has got a long divider
Well I’ve been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All’s fair in love and war
All’s fair in love and war
All’s fair in love and war
