That Lonesome Road
Lyrics
Words and Music by James Taylor and Don Grolnick
Walk down that lonesome road
All by yourself.
Dont turn your head
Back over your shoulder.
And only stop to rest yourself
When the silver moon
Is shining high
Above the trees.
If I had stopped to listen once
or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
Id not be on this road tonight.
Never run feeling sorry for
yourself.
It doesnt save you from your troubled mind.
Walk down that lonesome road
All by yourself.
Dont turn your head
Back over your shoulder.
And only stop to rest yourself
When the silver moon
Is shining high
Above the trees.
