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
