Lyrics

Temptation Road

She had that look, a woman that?s rich,
She was used to getting her way
She lured me right in, there was nothing I could do
Nothin? I could do or say
She lived high on the Hill
In the mansion overlooking the sea
I?d always wondered who lived there,
And now she was talkin? to me
The water below glistened in silver,
The trees stood tall and still
I made a hard left on Temptation Road,
We made love several times that night,
She moaned a sound like love
But I never knew quite what it was,
That she was dreaming of
Lost my soul to a woman,
Never cared to ask my name
I never knew her story,
Or why she played this game

There?s always a street like Temptation Road,
There?s one in your neighborhood
It?s the street where dreams are bought and sold,
Avoid it if you could

It took a moment to realize,
I was now alone
I looked around, she was gone,
A note held down by a stone
?Please don?t call, or come here
Any other time
You got exactly what you wanted,
I didn?t commit any crime
My husband will be arriving shortly,
So I suggest you go
And Take that last right turn on Temptation Road
Very, very slow?

There?s always a street like Temptation Road,
There?s one in your neighborhood
It?s the street where dreams are bought and sold,
Avoid it if you could

For Temptation Road is an exciting drive,
Thrills the heart with every turn
But few survive this windy road,
Most just crash and burn

So when and if you get that call,
?Can you visit for just a while??
Remember all those lovers, who?ve gone off the cliffs,
One by one in single file
