Many A Long & Lonesome Highway Lyrics

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 callin'.
I saw a lone star fallin'.
I caught a song and set it free.

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 forewinds blow.

I believe in love and danger.
I believe the 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 my own.

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 forewinds blow.

And every nights a new beginning.
Everyday the world keeps spinning.
Sometimes it's hard to stand up, oh, I know.
And to the east the moon comes showin'
To the west there's storm clouds growin'
Though by myself I'm not alone no more.

My father on his death bed told me,
"There's really nothin' left to hold me."
Though I was there he died alone.
It's gonna take a fast train leavin'
To shake my world of greivin'.
I guess I'll go until it's gone.

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 forewinds blow.

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 forewinds blow.
