I've been on this lonely road so long   Does anybody know where it goes   I remember the last time   The signs pointed home a month ago      Rented cars and empty motel rooms   Lead you everywhere but home   Crowds of people shouting   How they love the show, they don't know      The endless crowds of faces   Just keep on wearing a smile   The countless times and places lead me back   Please take me back home      I wonder if these feelings ever change   How many times I'll lift this load   Come tomorrow I'll be gone again   Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me      The endless crowds of faces   Just keep on wearing a smile   The countless times and places lead me back   Please take me back home      I wonder if these feelings ever change   How many times I'll lift this load   Come tomorrow I'll be gone again   Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me
