THE ROYELVISBAND - Lonely Nights and Lessons Learned Lyrics

Another night of feeling lonely
Just me and my thoughts in the dark
I'm sitting here thinking 'bout the old me
The kid who had that wild spark
I made some mistakes when I was young and free
Listened to those who said "You'll never be"
But deep down I knew what I had inside
If only I'd chased it instead of hiding in pride

Lonely nights and lessons learned
Looking back on bridges burned
I had the fire I had the dream
But I was caught up in the wrong kind of scene
Now I'm telling that young boy
"Go on kid go get your joy
Find a good woman hold her tight
She'll be the one to guide you right"

It's a damn shame I had what it took
To hit the big time write my own book
But I believed those doubting voices
Turned away from my own choices
If I could talk to that younger me
I'd say "Bullshit kid don't you see?
You've got the gift you've got the heart
Just pick up that guitar and start"

Lonely nights and lessons learned
Looking back on bridges burned
I had the fire I had the dream
But I was caught up in the wrong kind of scene
Now I'm telling that young boy
"Go on kid go get your joy
Find a good woman hold her tight
She'll be the one to guide you right"

Teach her to play teach her the strings
Make her feel like she's got wings
Avoid the ones who'll lead you astray
Stick with those who'll stay

Lonely nights and lessons learned
Looking back on bridges burned
I had the fire I had the dream
But I was caught up in the wrong kind of scene
Now I'm telling that young boy
"Go on kid go get your joy
Find a good woman hold her tight
She'll be the one to guide you right"

And never forget those who believed
They're the ones who never deceived
Hang on to them through thick and thin
With them by your side you'll always win
Another night alone but I see it clear
The lessons learned through every tear
