That is the first version of this song, you can hear the second version here, which was the commercial version, with a different orchestration, a bit faster, with a verse in less : th-cam.com/video/cCd88ub_Tc8/w-d-xo.html, that I like too . Chris Rea always made two versions of his hits (On the Beach, Josephine, Driving home for Christmas). That is my favourite Chris Rea's song, with On the Beach, of course.

I was fortunate to have signed Chris to his first American contract. Aside form being an immense talent he was the nicest artist I ever worked with
I love this song.....since 1978!!
Greetings from URUGUAY!
Aquí comenzaba la leyenda. I LOVE CHRIS REA
Loved this late 70s song , from quebec canada
The background of the song makes it amazing.
Wow,I didn't know this was his sing. I've listened to this for years
He looks so young. Road to hell is one of his best.
I love this song!

Written for his sister when her boyfriend broke up with her.
I've always loved this song. Thanks for reminding me. Like the Dr. Who reference, too.
My favorite of his was “Working on it”
A proper song, fantastic.
Well this was a complete shocker for me as well 🙄 I've finally found one I know myself. Very good.
THANK YOU FROM BUFFALO NEW YORK

Late 70s
1978
