rain runnin' down the ruts in the road

dark gray sky and the wind blows cold

that's how it's been ever since the day

you walked off down

the lonesome way



somebody you loved didn't love you back

won't happen again you made sure of that

you left your heart right where it lay

when you walked off down

the lonesome way



and there ain't no end in sight

you're lookin' for trouble if you don't win this fight

and you run from yourself all through the night

and face another day

the lonesome way



there's a woman who wants to get close to you

she'll give you her heart if you ask her to

and she don't know the price she'll pay

when she follows you down

the lonesome way



and there ain't no end in sight

you're lookin' for trouble if you don't win this fight

and you run from yourself all through the night

and face another day

the lonesome way

the lonesome way

the lonesome way

the lonesome way
