There's this lonesome road close to my hometown That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along Once it lead me to school and later far away Now whenever I come back, it means home to me When I was a kid life played on the streets Father always dressed me in my ol' torn jeans Later he taught me how to ride my bike And to swear like a man fearing for my life Those were the times, untroubled and free Nothing like today's reality Wouldn't wanna miss a single memory They shaped the man I became to be There's this lonesome road close to my hometown That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along Once it lead me to school and later far away Now whenever I come back, it means home to me I remember well when I learned how to drive How the gearbox crunched and mama almost cried Got the hang of it, picked-up all the girls I knew To park the car so I could make them cry too Those were the times, untroubled and free Nothing like today's reality Wouldn't wanna miss a single memory They shaped the man I became to be There's this lonesome road close to my hometown That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along Once it lead me to school and later far away Now whenever I come back, it means home to me That old road holds the story of my life That old road holds the story of my life That one road that I've known for all my life That old road holds the story of my life Lonesome road, old friend, thank you
