Here's to the Rocky Road
words, lyrics, and music by David Kleiner, Dennis Dougherty and Steve Gillette

(chorus 1) Here's to the rocky road, the ups and the downs
It's a rough and a ready road, through the fields and towns
High on a mountainside, down in the valley below
You're gonna find a sweeter ride, along the rocky road

Take me down to the sweet flowing waters
Wash away my troubles in the brook
I have lived my life like it was an open book
And a second chance don't need a second look..

(chorus 1)

And when the last light is fading
And the long journey's over
And the cold winds of winter begin to blow
That famous road that's paved with good intentions
Can only take you where you don't want to go

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2) Here's to the rocky road, the ups and the downs
It's a rough and a ready road, through the fields and towns
High on a mountain pass, underneath the snow
You're gonna find the greener grass, along the rocky road
High on a mountain pass, underneath the snow,
You're gonna find the greener grass, along the rocky road
