[Verse 1] Look down that long and lonesome road Before you take another step The weight you’re carrying won’t get lighter Just because you haven’t slept I’ve been walking with this silence Longer than I care to say Every mile takes something from me But I keep moving anyway [Pre-Chorus] Weary from the load I’m holding Weary from the things I know [Chorus] Look down that lonesome road Before you travel on There’s no soft place left to rest here And the night is almost gone [Verse 2] I used to think someone was waiting Somewhere past the next incline Now I know the road don’t promise Anything that isn’t mine I’ve left pieces in the gravel I’ve left names I used to own Every promise that I carried Turned to dust and then was gone [Pre-Chorus] Weary from the load I’m holding Weary from the things I know [Chorus] Look down that lonesome road Before you travel on There’s no soft place left to rest here And the night is almost gone [Bridge – spoken / restrained] I don’t ask the road for mercy I don’t ask it for a sign I just keep my head down walking One more mile… one more time [Final Chorus] Look down that lonesome road Before you travel on There’s no soft place left to rest here And the night is almost gone [Outro] Still walking… Still carrying the load… Still on that lonesome road.
