Upon the lonesome roadnThe traveler's hardened homenHiding from the shining facesnTucked away from settled placesnWith youth and driven covered holesnAbove overshadowed lonely soulsnThey march towards greener pasturesnTo their happily ever aftersnnAnd so our hero travelernFrom the land of down undernWith nothing save an old suitcasenAnd a youthful grin upon his facenAnd golden locks of wavy hairnThat stretch to cross his selfish starenHe'll take the path unspokennAnd break the rules unbrokennnYet we aren't all we think we arenFor born beneath a Northern starnStanding tall above the crowdnPossessing beauty well renownednEmpowered with a humbling gracenThat shatters all the strongest gatesnOur heroine she captivatesnnSlow down she'll say and tell him of a storynFilled with hope she'll say that he can stay awhilenThough she knows that parting ways will soon be sonShe'll think of him when she is on the lonesome roadnnBut following the long goodbyesnOur traveler he closed his eyesnAnd turned the other waynTo other lonely daysnAnd she while saddened by the endnJust shed her cracked and weathered skinnAnd turned the other waynNo sadness can hold swaynnYet time can prove the harshest foenWhere memories gain the weight of stonenAnd desires straighten crooked roadsnAnd lead back to a place called homenSo it is no surprise to himnThat they'll turn back before the endnThe thought of her it makes him bendnnSlow down he'll say and tell her of a storynFilled with hope he'll say that she can stay awhilenThough he knows that parting ways will soon be sonHe'll think of her when he is on the lonesome roadnThe lonesome roadnnBut it's not meant to benAt least not like the way we seenFor they are nothing but a dreamnA future with the faintest gleamn'Cause there's no pattern in the waynThat paths and lives collide or straynThe power of the lonesome roadnTo steal the gold it freely soldnnSo let this story benNot sad but just realitynFor they will hold each othernAs often as can benAnd if they meet againnShe'll smile and he will take her handnAnd deceive their greener pasturesnFor just a whilennSlow down they'll say and tell each other storiesnFilled with hope they'll say that they can stay awhilenThough they know that parting ways will soon be sonThey'll dream of this while sleeping on the lonesome road
