Many a Long And Lonesome Highway

 			                          
Yes I had a woman love me, I gave her what there was there of me
                           
And it was good as it could be
				     
Then I heard a wild world calling, I saw a lone star falling
                        
Caught a song and set it free

Chorus:
                                       
And many a long and lonesome highway
                  
Lies before us as we go
                          
And in the end I'll do it my way
                                
Look for me where the four winds blow

I believe in love and danger, I believe that truth is stranger
I believe that fear is much too strong
I believe the best will find me when I leave the rest behind me
Out on the highway I'm on my own

Chorus

                                
And every night's a new beginning, every day the world keeps spinning
                             
Sometimes it's hard to stand up on my own
                                 
To the east the moon comes showing, to the west there’s storm clouds growing
                       
Though by myself I'm not alone no more

My father on his deathbed told me there's really nothing left to hold me
Though I was there he died alone
It's gonna take a fast train leaving to shake my world of grieving
Guess I'll go until it's gone

Chorus (2X)
