You came home, skin and bones
That winter in Chicago really did you in
Went traipsing through the wild unknown
Just to find she couldn't love you in the end
Back down south, your parents' house
Is up for sale and nothing's sacred anymore
And in the shadow of your doubts
You can see her standing in the kitchen door
Can you learn to improvise
When you're sinking like a stone
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Can you walk that road alone
Can you walk that road alone
Yesterday is a dog-eared page
And it's a long way on the bus so you've got time to read
Milk and honey, saving grace
Is there still time for the next guy that you wanna be
Can you learn to improvise
When you're sinking like a stone
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Can you walk that road alone
Can you walk that road alone
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Can you walk that road alone
Can you walk that road alone
