She had a normal life, up through her college education |
|
But a stranger made sure one night she'd never be the same |
|
Any amount of heart or determination |
|
There was left behind, was soon to fade away |
|
(It was) with breakdowns and bad luck |
|
She wound up on the streets |
|
Eventually a stranger to everyone she meets |
|
Oh we all go down |
|
That lonesome road |
|
Where there ain't a sound |
|
When you walk alone |
|
It's a long way back |
|
It's not the game it was back when we got started |
|
And no one gave a damn how the job got done |
|
I could have been a billionaire in the private sector |
|
But still I chose to protect the rights of the innocent ones |
|
There ain't a man alive who don't feel he's entitled |
|
Still in the end, the only thing that he may come to know |
|
Is that we all go down |
|
That lonesome road |
|
Where there ain't a sound |
|
When you walk alone |
|
You could cry out loud, but you walk alone |
|
Lookin' far and wide, searching high and low |
|
It's a long way back |
|
Every single dream, every solemn hope run dry |
|
For every man forsaken |
|
There's still a reason left to try |
|
There ain't a man alive who don't feel he's entitled |
|
Still in the end, the only thing that he may come to know |
|
Is that we all go down |
|
That lonesome road |
|
Where there ain't a sound |
|
When you walk alone |
|
You could cry out loud, but you walk alone |
|
Lookin' far and wide, searching high and low |
|
It's a long way back |
