Here I Go Again
Drew Amaranth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Oh baby, oh baby
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
(End)
