Lyrics

The Lonely Road
Words & Music by Joe Chinnici c2004


Standing at the railway station
Ticket in my hand for my destination
Pocket player playin? my favorite travelin? song
I?ve been away too long, and I got to get back now
Get back home, I gotta get there somehow

You know I?m travelin? on, down this lonely road back home
I gotta get me back to the only road I know
Six weeks into July, twelve years into the decade
I gotta get back to my family again someday

I been away for oh so long
Feelin? tired, but I must be strong
Picture in my pocket says it?s time to head on home
I?m gonna get on the train, or the plane or the big bus
Gonna get back to the place I love

You know I?m travelin? on, down this lonely road back home
I?m gonna get me back to the only road I know
Six weeks into July, twelve years into the decade
I gotta get back to my family again someday

Many times I?ve wanted to turn back
Many years of tears and one night stands
Many times I?ve wanted to quit
But I made it through this time once again
Now I?m heading back to where I should have been

You know I?m travelin? on, down this lonely road back home
I?m gonna get me back to the only road I know
Six weeks into July, twelve years into the decade
I gotta get back to my family again someday

You know I?m travelin? on, down this lonely road back home
I?m gonna get me back to the only road I know
You know I?m travelin? on back home
I gotta get me back
I gotta get me back to home, home, home
