A Rock and a Hard Place lyrics

And she came to look for me

Sold me name and innocence

Took my key

And told me to follow her

Down from Igor with her bangles and her reference

One from the church from the valley of the...

Well, she wanted a haven and a place to hide

So I gave her an alibi, took her inside

But a rock and a hard place await for me

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Everything I ever did right or wrong

Hid out of sight where I belong, belong

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why

And there wasn't a part of me

That didn't want to say goodbye

But cause and effect go hand in hand with...

The devil may care but I don't mind

And I thought she'd never quite understand

So Ieft her there that night but will she find me?

I don't think so, no

When you go, you go alone

And I'm gone

Far away, far away, far away, far away

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why

And there wasn't a part of me

That didn't want to say goodbye

[x 3:]

But a rock and a hard place await for me

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Everything I ever did right or wrong

Hid out of sight where I belong, belong
