lyrics

I'm walkin' this road. It's a lonesome road.
I'm walkin' this road. It's a righteous road.
And this road is sober
And this road is straight,
But my mood is ugly as I walk this road.
I'm walkin' this road as I walk this road.

I cried- Sleep, awake me but my dreams were the same.
I cried for love to take me,
I cried for someone to blame.
I cried for peace and quiet, for a passage of time.
Or else re-incarnate me - give me someone else's mind.

I'm walkin' this road. It's a lonesome road.
I'm walkin' this road. It's a righteous road.
And this road is sober
And this road is straight,
But my mood is ugly as I walk this road.
I'm walkin' this road as I walk this road.

Well, I know I need religion like a hole in the head.
With no drugs and no religion
Am I better off dead?
I see boys and girls with secrets
I see boys and girls in pairs.
Must be a turn I should have taken.
I got screwed up somewhere.

I'm walkin' this road. It's a lonesome road.
I'm walkin' this road. It's a righteous road.
And this road is sober
And this road is straight,
But my mood is ugly as I walk this road.
I'm walkin' this road as I walk this road.

Thanks for the coffee and thanks for the time.
You didn't make me happy but thanks for tryin'.
Life well may be sacred but it's a heavy load.
And this never knowing makes a weary road.

I'm walkin' this road. It's a lonesome road.
I'm walkin' this road. It's a righteous road.
And this road is sober
And this road is straight,
But my mood is ugly as I walk this road.
I'm walkin' this road as I walk this road.
