Lyrics
They've been pushing me too hard,
I can feel the pressure,
Let me tell ya, let me tell ya something
Fell in love with a black girl, when I was just 16,
Her sweet gospel voice, she sang it so clean.
Black and white, made us pale blue,
A hard old world, you know, treated us so cruel!
But it was living and loving. That's what makes this world go round.
Sometimes it makes you feel just like a circus clown,
But you know, people on the upper deck, trying to sink our ship
But it's love, love alone that makes us take this trip.
Pushed down that lonesome road,
I've been pushed down that lonesome road
called love, called love.
Pushed down that lonesome road,
Baby, I've been pushed down that lonesome road
called love, called love.
Sing it to me
Leaned down, she took my hand.
She told me I was her only man.
She leaned down. She kissed my lips.
I began to reminisce.
She take me back
She take me back
She take me back
She bring me down
She bring me down
She bring me down
But it's love, love alone that makes you take this trip.
But it's love, love alone that makes you take this trip.
I've been pushed down that lonesome road
I've been pushed down that lonesome road
Called love
Some people called it love
Some people called it love
