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
