Lyrics
going down a lonely road ©2025 jonathan sanson
wind whipped sand and grit
dust a weather-greyed house
a man comes out the door
walks across the lawn
woman watches him
as he drives away
another sunset
on another desperate day
going down a lonely road
beneath a twilight sky
nothing is a heavy load
going down a lonely road
a grocery cart on wobbly wheels
squeals down shopping lanes
few items in the cart
not much cash remains
register he stands in tears
highway driving slowly home
she stares out fractured panes
for headlights in the gloom
going down a lonely road
beneath a twilight sky
nothing is a heavy load
going down a lonely road
another factory closed
another family exposed
another man without work
another town to die
went without a cry
going down a lonely road
beneath a twilight sky
nothing is a heavy load
going down a lonely road
