Walking This Road

Have you ever been down
That long and lonesome road
Walking by yourself
You're all alone
Alone with the blues

There's not a kindly word
Not a smile on a friendly face
As you walk on by
You feel you're in disgrace
Yeah, you and the blues

When night-time falls
And you ain't got no place at all
You walk the streets
You're kicking up dust
Just you and the blues

In the mad mad crowd
They don't see that you are there
And if you stand real still
They'll leave you unimpaired
They'll leave you with the blues

It's such a long long road
Goes on forever and ever and ever
You can't decide
If you're gonna get off
Or carry on for the ride

'Cause when you got the blues
Walking by your side you're happy
Happy as can be now
For you ain't walking this road
This road alone
