Many A Long & Lonesome Highway (Album Version)

Many A Long & Lonesome Highway - Rodney Crowell

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 calling

I saw a lone star falling

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 showing

To the west there's storm clouds growing

Though by myself I'm not alone no more

My father on his death bed told me

There's really nothing left to hold me

Though I was there he died alone

It's gonna take a fast train leaving

To shake my world of greiving

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

Many a long and lonesome highway

Lies before us as we go
