Break It To Them Gently (Lyrics)
Song by Burton Cummings
Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can
And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again
Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I want to go home
Lord I wish I was home
When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eye
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will 'til the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home again
I got in too deep with strangers
Thinking they could help me to find my way
Nobody warned me of the dangers
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay
So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin' that I had
And break it to my Grandma, who said "that boy's wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home again
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I want to go home
Lord I wish I was home
Gotta break it to them gently
Break it to them gently
You really try to roll 'em
You really gotta soothe them
You really gotta break it to them gently
Will you tell my mom and dad
Thank 'em for the good years and all the lovin' that I had
Roll it to my Grandma, who said "that boy is wild and bad"
Gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my Grandma, she's way past eighty
Roll the old lady
Hey yah Hey yah Hey yah yah
Roll the old lady
Hey yah Hey yah Hey yah yah
Roll the old lady
Sweet summer time, tastes like wine
Feels so fine
Roll the old lady
Sweet summer time, tastes like wine
Feels so fine
Roll the old lady
Hey yah Hey yah Hey yah yah
Roll the old lady
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home no more, no more.

Burton Cummings and the guess who enriched my life with awesome music when I was a youth. I was always a country music fan but the guess who’s style of rock and roll is just damn good music, plain and simple. Well written and awesomely performed. Thank you
