Lyrics

LONESOME ROAD
© 2007 dean h. chamberlain

I was born with the ramblin blues
My feet already knew
The road ahead would wind long
Before I could walk I was gone

I wandered west, I drifted east
Til I met a one-eyed drunken priest
He said it don?t matter where you aim
Everybody gets there just the same

Love or lose, every step you choose
Try turning back it ain?t no use
No stepping stones to be your guide
It?s a one way ride

On the road
That lonesome road

I walked alone without a prayer
Til I found a love I could share
That girl meant the world to me
Til I caught her messing round down on easy street

When you love that long that hard and that wide
And you find that you?ve been denied
Like a rose?s thorn it tears you up inside
You?re born to ride

That road
That lonesome road

INSTRUMENTAL OVER F# - C ? G

You break my heart when you shake that thing
You make it hard for a man to think
I?d like to stay but I got to run
One last kiss and baby I?ll be gone

I cried like a child, and I was reconciled
I believed, and I was received
Lo and behold, you came to light my load
Take me on your wings, and make this sinner whole
And we will fly

Above the road
That lonesome road
That lonesome road
That lonesome road
That lonesome road

That lonesome ro-oooooooooad
We?re on
