In this world I walk alone With no place to call my home But there's One who holds my hand The rugged road through barren lands The way is dark the road
I'm used to being alone. Except for six month playings without rings and phone bills that I've waited for. This is the life that I choose. I got no complaints
So you're on your own lookin' down the road that goes only by one way And you don't need the signs to see lonely still runs both ways So who's the fool
I'm soaring the sky I can hear the birds and man they don't lie How you gonna catch me when I'm this high I'm moving on I got the words to a brand new
I left home when I was seventeen I just grew tired of fallin' down And I'm sure I was told The allure of the road Would be all I found And all the answers
I've been up and down before Sleep won't hold me any more You're running out of games to play I don't have to live this way Thought I loved you for awhile
I turned around, before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind I know this is just a customary fever The moon is our deceiver
Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run It's a good thing I don't need you to stay You
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart You can blame the unforgiving for my scars You might just be the best that I can find But I can't seem to
Well, it's always we ramble, this river and I All along your green valleys, I work till I die My land I'll defend with my life need it be 'Cause my pastures
Rain, please go away Leave me alone, come another day My love is gone, this time to stay Rain, please go away It's tough to live the whole day through
Honey, I know you've been alone some Why don't you phone some? 'Cause I love you And honey, I know I've been away some I've had to pay some and you have
Well, the rain is a pourin' down in a fury And the road is lookin' long And the only thing that comes to mind Is the tune of this sad song Tune of this
Instrumental
Take me back to Anona street Fill my glass again, with a bittersweet 'Cause I don't wanna see the life I have Thought the next time around wouldn't be
I left home when I was seventeen I just grew tired of falling down And I'm sure I was told The allure of the road Would be all I found And all the answers
I'm soaring the sky I can hear the birds and man they don't lie How you gonna catch me, when I'm this high I'm moving on I got the words to a brand
Take me back to Anona street Fill my glass again With a bittersweet Cause I don't wanna see The life I have Thought the next time around Wouldn't be
