Lonesome Road
Corey Crowder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About my life and where I've been
And I've been tryna do some linking
To my past to try again
Here we go, here we go
Down this long and lonesome road
Here we go, here we go
She's been wanting something different
And I've been asking for ideas
We've been running 'round in circles
'Cause I can't help the way she feels
Here we go, here we go
Down this long and lonesome road
Here we go, here we go
Down this long and lonesome road
I'm suggesting something simple
No need in trying to move too fast
A long vacation would be tempting
But taking trips just won't last
Here we go, here we go
Down this long and lonesome road
Here we go, here we go
Down this long and lonesome road
Down this long and lonesome road
Down this long and lonesome road

The line "We've been running 'round in circles, 'cause I can't help the way she feels" highlights the frustration that the singer is experiencing. He is suggesting a simple solution, maybe a vacation to try and reconnect, but he acknowledges that it may not be a long-term fix.
