LONELY ROAD
Verse 1
Traveling down
This lonely road
Shadows start to fall
Air is hazy
And a little cool
Light bathes the canyon wall
Verse 2
Hittin’ 55
Both time and space
Try to stay between the lines
Thoughts unsteady
Then start to clear
Visions forming in my mind
Chorus
Lonely Road in front of me
Take me to the one I long to see
Verse 3
So much behind
So much ahead
So much left to do
Time is short
And the day is long
Now I’m running back to you
Chorus
Lonely Road in front of me
Take me to the one I long to see
Bridge
Miles to go
To get back home
Wanna see you now
Wanna tell you why
Gotta make this work
Just you and me
The two of us alone
Chorus
Lonely Road in front of me
Take me to the one I long to see
Lonely Road in front of me
Take me to the one I long to see

The guitar riff that forms the backbone of this song has been bouncing around in my head for 20 years. I turned it into a completed song using lyrics I wrote during a drive through the Nevada desert in 2017.
