Lonely Road

Clothes that were cut from the cloth of a flag without a state
Naked feet save for the broken chains that ring for days
With the thorns and pricks and shards of glass that bleed and sting
Send the dogs for me
I'll be walking through the wild, baby

Oh, I'm on a lonely road
Always on the far side of here to home
In the heat of a sun that could be long gone before you know
And oh, I'm on a lonely road
Breaks in all my flesh and joints and bones
It's a lonely road I walk

And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on...

So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road

Tied to the hundred thousand pounds of past mistakes
Dragged through the dirt to the tune of a searing scrape
Cut the rope from the weight or just wait for it to fray
Brand it with my name and you can find it in the wild, baby

Oh, I'm on a lonely road
Ever too worn to hold out hope
In the cold of a night that could reach out and swallow you whole
And oh, I'm on a lonely road
Tears in all my heart and mind and soul
It's a lonely road I walk

And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on...

So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road

The light, the heat, the sun
The filth, the dirt, the mud
The will, the fight, the run
The all, the some, the none

So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
So when you find me I'll be on my own
Because it's a lonely road
