I know you're lonely but just walk on down the road 

It's not far to go 

I've been so hungry but I'll tighten up my belt 

Back home I go 



Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time 

Wohh, a hard hill to climb 

With love on my side 

I'm gonna be alright 

Wohh, now you watch me go 



Carpet road is like a film set 

And all the actors have gone home 

The lonely feeling outside this road 

Is like the loneliness in my soul 



Keep your women and your wine and your money 

Cause I'm just doing fine 

I got a feeling 

Gonna have to make it on my own this time 



Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time 

Wohh, a hard hill to climb 

With love on my side 

I'm gonna be alright 

Wohh, now you watch me go 

Down carpet road 



Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time 

Wohh, a hard hill to climb 

With love on my side 

I'm gonna be alright 

Wohh, now you watch me go 

Down carpet road 

Down carpet road 

Down carpet road
