It's a long way to nowhere 

And I'm leaving very soon 

On the way we pass so close 

To the back side of the moon 



Hey join the traveler 

If you've got nowhere to go 

Hang your head and take my hand 

It's the only road I know 

Oh! Lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah! 



I've been higher than stardust 

I've been seen upon the sun 

I used to count in millions then 

But now I only count in one 

Come on, join the traveler 

If you got nowhere to go 

Hang your head and take my hand 

It's the only road I know 



Yeah, Lonely is the word 

Got to be the saddest song I ever heard 



Yeah, Lonely is the name 

Maybe life's a losing game
