Lonely road, empty kitchen and a brand new feeling
Nothing's moving but my heart is reeling since you went away
Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving
Find another way to go on living without you today

When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets?
To who do you pray when you've lost your way
And you've such a heavy load?
Let me walk with you upon this lonely road
3rd Verse
Lonely road, we gotta walk it just a little bit farther
Heavens knows it can't get any harder than it is today
Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving
Find another way to go on living without you today

Who do you miss in times like this
When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets?
To who do you pray when you've lost your way
And you've such a heavy load?
Let me walk with you upon this lonely road
