There's this lonesome road close to my hometown
That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along
Once it lead me to school and later far away
Now whenever I come back, it means home to me

When I was a kid life played on the streets
Father always dressed me in my ol' torn jeans
Later he taught me how to ride my bike
And to swear like a man fearing for my life

Those were the times, untroubled and free
Nothing like today's reality
Wouldn't wanna miss a single memory
They shaped the man I became to be

There's this lonesome road close to my hometown
That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along
Once it lead me to school and later far away
Now whenever I come back, it means home to me

I remember well when I learned how to drive
How the gearbox crunched and mama almost cried
Got the hang of it, picked-up all the girls I knew
To park the car so I could make them cry too

Those were the times, untroubled and free
Nothing like today's reality
Wouldn't wanna miss a single memory
They shaped the man I became to be

There's this lonesome road close to my hometown
That, ever since I was a boy, I've been driving along
Once it lead me to school and later far away
Now whenever I come back, it means home to me

That old road holds the story of my life
That old road holds the story of my life
That one road that I've known for all my life
That old road holds the story of my life

Lonesome road, old friend, thank you
