verse 1
I took the long way home tonight down a lonely road
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio.
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find.
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio.
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find.
pre-verse
The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky,
There to remind me what's missing tonight.
There to remind me what's missing tonight.
verse 2
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
verse 3
Staring out my window now at the world passing me by,
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time.
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain,
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train.
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time.
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain,
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train.
pre-verse
The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
They're to remind me what's missing tonight.
They're to remind me what's missing tonight.
verse 4
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
pre-verse
It's just another night on the one hand
On the other, it cuts like a knife.
On the other, it cuts like a knife.
verse 5
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
outro
It's lonely I can't stand.
It's lonely I can't stand.
It's lonely I can't stand.
It's lonely I can't stand.
It's lonely I can't stand.
