Rodney Crowell - Many a Long and Lonesome Highway lyrics

(Rodney Crowell, Will Jennings)

Yes I had a woman love me gave her what there was there of me

It was good as it could be

Then I heard a wild world calling, I saw a lone star falling

Caught a song and set it free

Many a long and lonesome highway lies before us as we go

In the end I'll do it my way

Look for me where the four winds blow

I believe in love and danger

I believe that truth is stranger

I believe that fear is much too strong

I believe the best will find me when I leave the rest behind me

Out on the highway I'm on my own

Every night's a new beginning every day the world keeps spinning

Sometimes it's hard to stand upon my own

To the east the moon comes showing to the west the storm clouds growing

Though by myself I'm not alone

My father on his deathbed told me there's really nothing left to hold me

Though I was there he died alone

It's gonna take a fast train leaving to shake my world of grieving

Guess I'll go until it's gone

Many a long and lonesome highway lies before us as we go

In the end I'll do it my way look for me where the four winds blow
