I got here some time ago
And I thought that it was easy street
Plenty of flowers lined my path
There was plenty of fruit for me to pick and eat
It was sunny, it was calm
You seemed quite happy with me on your arm
But by the time the sun went down
I looked left and right, and you weren't around
Boy, you played me, I swear
And it made the path so unclear
So I might as well stay here
On this long, dark, lonesome road
You left me some time ago
And I still can't find my way downtown
Plenty of signs to point the way
But only one road to lead me down
Yeah, you left me for dead
Went off with some other fool instead
Now I pray you stay out of my head
While I'm on this lonesome road
I was only trying to please you
But I guess I wasn't enough
I was only trying to follow you
But you lead me into the rough
I was only trying to love you
But you didn't want my love
My love
And now I'll keep going strong
And I won't admit that I was wrong
If I'm lost I'll just write another song
'Bout this long, dark, lonesome road
About this long, dark, lonesome road
This long, dark, lonesome road
