A Lonesome Road to Travel

Arranged by Barry Abernathy, Jim VanCleve, Darrell Webb

Verse
I bid farewell to my home so dear
And started down life's road.
I was seeking fortune far and near
Many things had been my goal.

Verse
There's many things I've seen in life
I thought I'd like to roam.
But I'd give them all and more If I
Could get off this lonesome road


Chorus
It's a lonesome road to travel on.
Many miles of sorrow Is all I've known.
But I've come too far to turn back now
From this lonesome lonesome road.


Verse
I left behind a love that's true,
She cried and begged me not to go.
But my foolish pride told me what to do
And put me on this lonesome road.

Verse
Such lonely nights I've never found
No time in life before.
And if she takes me back I'll settle down
And travel this road no more.

Chorus
It's a lonesome road to travel on.
Many miles of sorrow Is all I've known.
But I've come too far to turn back now
From this lonesome lonesome road.
