Lonely Road

Time, it slips away
And before you know
The years have all passed you by
What have you got to show
Some lines on your face
And a sadness in your eyes
Yes, it’s been a long
Oh, it’s been a long
Long, long lonely road

The people that you used to know
Caught up in a dead end dream
Well the lovers have all come and gone
They helped you make a fleeting team
Yesterday’s friends
But it’s too late to make amends
Yes, it’s been a long
Oh, it’s been a long
Long, long lonely road

Solo

So here I sit again
With an empty bottle in my hand
And closing time has come around
But no one here can understand
The pain of being lonely
Or the price that I’ve sometimes paid
Yes, it’s been a long
Oh, it’s been a long, long lonely road

I’ve slept out underneath the moon
I even wished upon a falling star
I broke so many man made rules
I can’t remember what they were
People always saying
You’re headed for doom
But I never ever, ever thought
That it’d come my way so soon
I’m headed for failure
No happiness
Here I am, walkin’ down this lonely road
Seems my life has been a constant mess
Yes, it’s been a long
Oh, it’s been a long
Long, long lonely road.
