Down this lonely road I walk
Dirt or pavement
Doesn't matter
It's all the same to me.
I'm walking off
Have to get away
Can't stay no more
Got to get away.
The lonely road is fine
Don't need no company
Got plenty of my own
Named misery and agony.
I'm walkin' on this lonely road
My feet are sore and tired
I'm a shell of who I once was
Walkin' on this lonely road.
The lonely road has ended
No longer can I walk
My journey is not yet done
For I have not gotten away.
I find another lonely road
I walk on
Darkness comes, bringing fear and woe
I keep on walkin' for I have not escaped.
This lonely road has nearly ended
I keep walkin' on
I don't want to stop
My thoughts I have yet to leave behind.
I must stop
No more lonely roads to walk
I must end this
No, another lonely road I must find to walk.
Here on this lonely road
My thoughts have not been left behind
Can I stop?
Perhaps I can, but perhaps not.
A few more steps and I am there
The lonely road has stopped
Dead-end on a cliff top
Here is where it ends
I'm finished with lonely roads
Now I travel across lonely skies
No other travelers in sight
Just me and these thoughts of mine.
