Lyrics
I set out on the 1st of May
I had a hunger in the worst of ways
a hunger for a love, a love like you.
I rounded a corner in the morning light
almost blinded— almost lost my sight
there on the shoulder was you.
Oh my Lord...
I got a feeling
you and I’ve been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
I got a feeling
you and I’ve been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
I pulled over in a cloud of dust
your hand-drawn sign said
“anywhere or bust”
but oh, that smile.
I don’t recall what state I was in
but your eyes told me
that you needed a friend—
just too damn many miles.
Oh my Lord...
I got a feeling
you and I been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
I got a feeling
you and I’ve been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
And it’s almost sundown
can’t ever find the right town
to call our home
just to call our home.
And it’s almost sundown
can’t ever find the right town
to call our home
just to call our home.
(Instrumental)
Well the seasons change
and the road goes by
there in the front seat
with an Ice Cream pie
and a coffee:
It’s just you and I.
We count the markers
we count the signs
you count me yours
And I will count you mine
whatever side of the solid line.
Oh my Lord, say...
I got a feeling
you and I been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
I got a feeling
You and I been down this
lonely road this lonely road before.
