Did you ever get for what you wish?
Only to find out it ain't no gift
The price you pay can often be too
Dear way too much
Oh, bless this weary soul
Every night alone will leave you numb
The memories you hope tonight don't come
When every stranger looks like someone
You should know
Oh, bless this weary soul

Cause I'm a long long long way from home
Hit the tracks just as fast as I could
Like I told everyone that I would
I was gone down the dark and lonely road
Had a dream I would give it up for
Even Love when I went out the door
And I'm gone down that dark and lonely road

Ticket to ride on a runaway train
I know I my heart I'll never see you again
Ticket to ride on a runaway train
I'm alone down the dark and lonely road
On my own down the dark and lonely road

Went too far past the point of return
Ain't going back where the home fires burns
I was gone down that dark and lonely road
Ticket to ride on a runaway train
I know I my heart I'll never see you again
Ticket to ride on a runaway train
On my own down the dark and lonely road
On my own down the dark and lonely road
On my own down the dark and lonely road

There's a place that I'd rather be
With a woman who's forgotten me
And I never even got to where I was going
Oh, bless this weary soul
Cause I'm a long long long way from home
On my own down the dark and lonely road
On my own down the dark and lonely road
On my own down the dark and lonely road
Down the dark and lonely road
