Long Lonesome Road
Long Lonesome Road
To every traveling soul that wonders
Here I travel
This long lonesome road.
I don’t know where it’ll lead me
But I will be a travelin’ with this heavy load
No matter where I travel
This road will lead me there
As I travel this long lonesome road.
Here I travel
This long lonesome road.
Not many travelers to travel with me,
Just a lonely poet with a suitcase filled with words to fill
No matter where I travel
I am goin’ to be free
As I travel this long lonesome road.
Here I travel
This long lonesome road.
Where I’ll roam alone,
But yet I am not alone you see,
I have a guitar packed with a million songs,
No matter where I travel
I will be surely free,
As I travel this long lonesome road.
As I travel this long lonesome road,
Traveling here and there to parts unknown.
I am just a stranger travelin’ along with my load,
Spreadin’ a little joy where Christian love is bound to be shown.
Yes, I travel this long lonesome road,
As I travel this long lonesome road.
Travel on!
Travel on!
Travel on that long lonesome road.
Travel on!
Travel on!
Travelin’ on that lonesome road.
Yes, travel on!
Travel on I say, travel on!
Travel on that long lonesome road.
No matter where I travel
I will be surely free
As I travel this long lonesome road,
Yes, I travel that long lonesome road.
Travel on!
Travel on!
Yes, I will be travelin’ that long lonesome road.
