Go Cat Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really didn't know what I was lookin' for
That's where I found, when I was blue
And everything I was lookin' for, was only you
So now I'm lookin' (now I'm lookin')
For a way home (for a way home)
So I won't be on this lonesome road alone
When I get back, I'll leave the road for good
So now I'm lookin' (now I'm lookin')
For a way home (for a way home)
So I won't be on this lonesome road alone
When I get back, I'll leave the road for good
And stay at home, right next to you where I should
Where I should, where I should...
Go Cat Go's song "Lonesome Road" is a classic country tune about a man who reflects on his journey down a lonely path. The opening lines, "When I went down that lonesome road, I really didn't know what I was lookin' for" suggest a sense of aimlessness and uncertainty. The singer is lost and searching for something to fill the void, perhaps a sense of purpose or a companion on his journey. The song's theme of searching for love and belonging is a common thread throughout country music.
In the second verse, the singer speaks of finding what he was looking for in someone else, "That's where I found, when I was blue, and everything I was lookin' for, was only you." The feeling of loneliness and longing is palpable as he realizes that the person he was searching for was with him the whole time. He now longs for a way home to be with this person so that he won't be on this lonesome road alone.
In the final verses, the singer speaks of his desire to leave the road for good and stay at home with the person he loves, "When I get back, I'll leave the road for good, and stay at home, right next to you where I should." The song brings up feelings of nostalgia and a sense of returning home, conveying the idea that eventually, no matter how lonesome the road may seem, we can always find our way back to where we belong.

When I went down that lonesome road
I started on a path that was desolate and solitary
I really didn't know what I was lookin' for
I was uncertain about my destination and purpose
That's where I found, when I was blue
During my sadness, I discovered something important
And everything I was lookin' for, was only you
You were the sole goal of my search
So now I'm lookin' (now I'm lookin')
I'm currently searching again
For a way home (for a way home)
In search of a path towards returning to you
So I won't be on this lonesome road alone
To avoid traveling alone on an empty path
When I get back, I'll leave the road for good
On reaching you, I'll stay with you forever
And stay at home, right next to you where I should
I belong with you, as close as possible
Where I should, where I should...
My true place is next to you

This song was written by Brian Freeman. He was 16 years old when he started playing with the band. Loved Darren in so many ways. Great singer, song writer, dancer, hunter fisherman, funny as heck, loved his family and on of the BEST brother in laws a girl could ask for.
