Ride Lonesome

Yesterday Paper roses, they forgot to bloom So walk away Hang your head upon the hollow moon

You got to ride lonesome You got to try to find the road You got to cry a river And follow it all the way home Alone

She is gone And you can't put your arms 'round a memory You know it's wrong Turn your heart into your worst enemy

You got to ride lonesome You got to try to find the road You got to cry a river And follow it all the way home Alone

What are you going to say to the mantle of moon When it's shining down on you? Where are you gonna ride tomorrow When all your days are running wild? Mm, oh-oh

Say, "So long" To the one who's still a part of you There's no song That could tell your heart what it already knew

You got to ride lonesome You got to try to find the road You got to cry an ocean And follow it all the way home Alone
