Travel a lonely road
Bid an empty town, “Goodbye.”
No one to leave behind
No one to wonder why.

Stay on that lonely road
And if you see a stranger smile
Offer to make believe
Linger a little while.

What can you lose pretending
Spending time now and then …
No more than one more ending
Sending you back again.

Back on that lonely road
Where you stumble
There you fall …
But, one day your star will rise
Shining from someone's eyes
Someone who's lonely
And wants only you to share …
Their lonely road.

What can you lose pretending
Spendin' time now and then …
No more than one more ending
Sendin' you back again.

Back on that lonely road
Where you stumble
There you fall …
But, one day your star will rise
Shinin' from someone's eyes
Someone who's lonely
And wants only you to share …
Their lonely road.
