Story Behind The Song
I got the idea for the opening few lines quite some time ago, when I was regularly driving long distances alone. I finally got round to finishing it this year (2015).

Lyrics
Lonely Game (words and music by Alan Gillis)
Chorus
The road goes on forever, every mile's the same
On and on it has no end
And life's a lonely game - A lonely game
The night time lasts forever, never turns to day
The wind is blowing colder
And my life's a lonely game, a lonely game
Verse
I've been spending my time looking for you love
I've still got you on my mind
And I know I'm wasting my time procrastinating
Driving all night and day losing my way love
'cause I've got you on my mind
Wishful thinking it's you I'll find, find you there waiting
Bridge
I've still got on my mind
I know I'm wasting my time
Wishful thinking it's you I'll find
Find you there waiting
Chorus variation
The road goes on forever, every mile's the same
On and on it has no end
And life's a lonely game, a lonely game
The night time lasts forever never turns to day
I'll never find another you
And life's a lonely game, a lonely game
