[Verse

Down the lonesome road

Where shadows sigh

Footsteps echo

Moons driftin' by

Blackened trees

They line the trail

Tellin' secrets

Long and frail

[Verse 2

Whispers of the wind

An old man’s tune

Listen closely

Under the weepin' moon

Rusty fences

Broken signs

Echoes wander

In the pines

[Chorus

Oh

The lonesome road

Where dreams decay

Each step taken

Another stray

Ghosts of yester

Haunt my soul

Walkin' weary

On this lonely stroll

[Verse 3

Stars are watchin'

Silent and cold

Eyes of wisdom

Tales untold

Dusty paths

Where lovers weep

Memories buried

Six feet deep

[Bridge

Railroad tracks

They stretch for miles

Goin' nowhere

Drownin' in trials

Time keeps tickin'

Slow and gray

On the lonesome

Worn out way

[Verse 4

Birds are singin'

Sorrowful song

Leaves are rustlin'

Somethin' wrong

Misty mornings

Evening's dread

Life’s a journey

'til you're dead
