lonely rd.
I'm afraid to look at you
for two seconds too long
The look that you throw back at me
could be right or wrong
If it's the same as mine, dear
it justifies this song
But if it's spite or if it's fear
I wouldn't know how to go on
I'd have to go on
Down the lonely road
Leads out of town
Away from home
I haven't been home in thirteen years
I don't remember what it's like
I pass by strangers with babes in arm
they tell me that it's nice
But it seems so strange to sit and smile
and watch the packs parade the pike
To work the day away in peace
and while away the night
I'd have to go on
Down the lonely road
Leads out of town
Away from home
Is it just the road I'm on
keeps me from sitting still
Or is it the fear of getting near
keeps me feeling ill
Can't even let my eyes rest
upon a pretty face
The look that you throw back at me
could fill me with grace or it could wreck this place
I'd have to go on
Down the lonely road
Leads out of town
Away from home
Where does it end
I'll never know
Same place it begins
Just got to go
