Lyrics

Well I see people, so full of shine always happy
Each day is like a rose in bloom
And it makes me wonder, how life grants all that freedom
Don't they ever feel depression
It keeps me guessing
Cause hen theres people who amble roud so unhappy
Life to them is spent from day to day.
Their always serchin, and you can see their minds are hurtin
and what 's inside their minds they never tell
To them life is hell.

And they roam from town to town always serchin their soul
for their identity, seems like they always see

A Lonesome Highway
They keep pushin their bodies onward serchin for a better way of living
Hoping to find a home where they know life will be forgiving
For whats already done,
and what's yet to come.

And I talk to people when they're feeling down
that always tell you that tomorrow will be a better day
They keep their heads up, at least in public view
and know that hard luck can't last them for eternity
one day life will set them free

And they roam from town to town always seching their souls
For their identity, seem's like they always see

A lonesome highway,
they keep pushin their bodies onward searching for a better way of living
Hoping to find a home where they know life will be forgiving
For what's already done, and what's yet to come
So they run.
