I’m walkin’ down this lonesome road,
With gravel grindin’ ‘neath my shoes,
The moonlight whispers secrets old,
While I drown my blues in bottle blues.
The ache inside keeps pullin’ me,
On a journey through the night,
Searchin’ for a brighter dawn,
But the stars don’t shine so bright.
Wanderin’ beneath the silver glow,
Where shadows dance like restless dreams,
Thought I’d find some peace, you know,
But the heart just tears at the seams.
Pour me a cup of that moonshine warmth,
Let it wash away my pain,
Each drop a story, a fleeting charm,
Yet the sorrow still remains.
I keep wanderin’, don’t know the way,
Each step just takes me further from home,
With the gravel, the ache, it’s a price I pay,
As I chase these wild, restless bones.
So I’ll raise this glass to memories past,
And toast the nights that never end,
Though I’m lost in the world, I’ll find my path,
With the stars as my only friend.
One day I'll find that peace I seek,
When the moonlight fades and the morning glows,
For now, I’ll wander, though my heart feels weak,
Down this lonesome road of gravel and woes.
Blues
Lonesome, gravel, moonshine, ache, wander
