Lonesome
B.A.M.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Locked in this direction, like a freight train
Sometimes the deepest wounds are cause by me
When the darkness is all I see
Well I'm southbound on this lonesome road
And I can't turn around no I can't let go
On this road I'm traveling is long and slow
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
Ain't no way I'm gonna make it to Heaven
Got my foot to the floor but I'm in first gear
V8 whining is all I hear
Well I'm southbound on this lonesome road
And I can't turn around no I can't let go
On this road I'm traveling is long and slow
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
Every road has pot holes and traffic lights
And the sun never rises on Alaskan nights
I feel like I'm dancing in acid rain
The more I move, the more I feel the pain
Well I'm southbound on this lonesome road
And I can't turn around no I can't let go
Oh this road I'm traveling is long and slow
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
Well I'm southbound on this lonesome road
And I can't turn around no I can't let go
Oh this road I'm traveling is long and slow
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
I'm stuck south on this lonesome road
