many a long and lonesome highway

Lyrics

Many A Long And Lonesome Highway

Willie Nelson

Yes I had a woman love me
I gave her what there was of me
And it was good as it could be

Then I heard a wild world calling
I saw a lone star falling
I caught a song and I set it free

And many a long and lonesome highway
Lies before us as we go
And 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 the truth is stranger
I believe that fear is much too strong

And I believe the best will find me
When I leave the rest behind me
Out on the highway I’m my own

And many a long and lonesome highway
Lies before us as we go
And in the end I’ll do it my way
Look for me where the four winds blow

Every night’s a new beginning
Every day the world keeps spinning
Sometimes it’s hard to stand upon I know

To the east the moon comes showing
To the west there’s storm clouds growing
Though by myself I’m not alone no more

My father on his death bed 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
I guess I’ll go on until it’s gone

And many a long and lonesome highway
Lies before us as we go
And in the end I’ll do it my way
Look for me where the four winds blow
