(McCartney)
I tried to get over you
I tried to find something new
But all I could ever do
Was fill my time
With thoughts of you

I tried to go somewhere old
To search for my pot of gold
But all I could ever hold
Inside my mind
Were thoughts of you

I hear your music
And it's driving me wild
Familiar rhythms
In a different style
I hear your music
And it's driving me wild again

Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

I hear your music
And it's driving me wild
Familiar rhythms
In a different style
I hear your music
And it's driving me wild again

Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

Ad lib to end

I sit and stare, and empty chair, another day without you
Each one for me, can only be, another day without you
The tick and tock of every clock seems so long
No good and bad when all you have is gone

I put the street beneath my feet, so not to think about you
But every sound and every sight unlocks a picture of you
Each memory a rush of joy and pain
If only I could hold you once again!

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The Lonely road.

And if we laughed and if we cried we did it all together
It never once crossed my mind it wouldn't last forever
One mistake, that's all it takes and then
You turn around, you're on your own again

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The Lonely road.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

One mistake, that's all it takes and then
You turn around, youre on your own again

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The Lonely Road

My Grandpa said to me, grandson sit down we need to talk
in life, there may be times when it gets hard to walk the walk.
It's easier to take the path that most have traveled on.
But then again sometimes to do what's right you must walk alone.

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece left behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

Some people are unkind to those who see things different, oh
We've all felt pain in ways it hurts to even bring it up
But that don't mean that patience
Take this motion lying down
I'll stand and fight until the day they put me in the ground

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

And now I've taught you all I know
So take this seed and let it grow
Though I'm here now, I'll soon be gone
I did what i can to try it make it strong
(I did what i can to try it make it strong)
(I can see that you're strong)

And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

(Such a lonely road)
And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
(Deep in your soul)
Ohh
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)

Too much time thinking about all of my mistakes
My heart, my mind, my soul, my body ache
I hunger for, the loving arms of your embrace
I walk along the lonely road

I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I carry the load
All the grinding time I pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road

Too much time thinking about everything that went wrong
I cry my eyes out every time I hear your song
I hope this path brings me back where I belong
I walk along the lonely road

I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong, girl
I carry the load
All the grinding time I pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road

Too much pride, for me to up and take the blame
Deep inside girl it's killing me with pain
Every night, I sleep I call your name
I walk along the lonely road

I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong girl
I carry the load
All the grinding time I pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
My back is strong girl
I carry the load
All the grinding time I pay the debt that's owed
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road

Each one for me, can only be, another day without you
