Lyrics

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Lonely Road
My Grandpa said to me,
"grandson sit down we need to talk
in life, there may be times
when it gets hard to walk the walk.
It's easier to take the path
that most have traveled on.
But then again sometimes to do
what's right you must walk alone."
And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
Ohh
You will find there's a piece left behind
You will find there's a piece to find
(Piece to find)
Some people are unkind to those
who see things different, oh
We've all felt pain in ways
it hurts to even bring it up
But that don't mean that patience
Take this motion lying down
I'll stand and fight until the day
they put me in the ground
And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
And now I've taught you all I know
So take this seed and let it grow
Though I'm here now, I'll soon be gone
I did what i can to try it make it strong
(I did what i can to try it make it strong)
(I can see that you're strong)
And that is a lonely road
Ohh
When this world burns down
Deep in your soul
You will find there's a piece behind
You will find there's a piece to find
