Look Down That Lonesome Road - The Melody Ranch Gang & Carl Cotner

Oh, well we run to the break of day The old man groaned as we rolled away Our women wept as we sped on by We hung our heads low as they raised their flags high Then we grabbed our guns and shot away He's killed all our brothers on a Saturday Our blood's dishonored and our wounds were deep Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls The girls said I'd die before I get old The war is over and the graves were deep The sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep You burned my house and you raped my wife I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord that I can kill that fucker tonight So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Oh, hey there, Dad Don't you know who I am? No motherfucker, don't give a goddamn So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old

If you wanna give up, take a chance (When the party's over, you should have the last dance) If there's no direction and you can't see Let your heart draw a map in the stars and go where it leads... 'Cause I can give you hope But I can't show you how Only you can turn the light on Find your way back out It may be dark and winding But it leads you home I know, yes, I know There's no shame, love, in falling apart Nothing comes easy but it won't always be No, it won't be always be so hard Oooh, oooh, oooh Down that road! Oooh, oooh, oooh (Oh oh oh oh) I can give you hope But I can't show you how Only you can turn the light on Find your way back out It may be dark and winding But it leads you home I know, yes, I know Cause I've been down that road Down that road (I've been down that road...)

On a Sunday night while driving my car In the sky a fallin' star Tellin' myself I don't go too far And trust by the sound of the rain Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am Cause there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you and me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe Somebody there to show me the way Yes, I'm willin' to pay And this dear old man can tell me any day Know what happens to me Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am Cause there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you and me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe On a Sunday night while driving my car In the sky a fallin' star Tellin' myself I don't go too far And trust by the sound of the rain Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am Cause there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you and me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe
