Good to Be Alone

Looking out my rearview mirror
The miles behind don't disappear like they used to
When I was with you

However hard I hit the gas
The engine don't run half as fast as it once did
When we were just kids

All of the good, old days are gone
But this life keeps rolling on
On and on

Yeah, it's good to be alone
No one to call you on the phone
After a month out on the road, yeah
No one to tell you, "Welcome home!"

No one to scratch you down your back
No one to cut you any slack
You got to scratch it on your own, yeah
Yeah, it's good to be alone

The mountaintops don't stand so high
The open road ain't quite as wide as it once seemed
When we had the same dream

The evening stars don't shine so bright
When we don't make love through the night like we once did
Yeah, those lights are faded

All of the good, old days are gone
But this life keeps rolling on
On and on

Yeah, it's good to be alone
No one to call you on the phone
After a month out on the road, yeah
No one to tell you, "Welcome home!"

No one to scratch you down your back
No one to cut you any slack
You got to scratch it on your own, yeah
Yeah, it's good to be alone

Alone, alone
Alone, alone, oh
Alone, alone
You'll learn to scratch it on your own, yeah
Yeah, it's good to be alone
