Lonesome Road
Pierce Billie; Pierce De De; Barnes Emile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you travel on.
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
Look up, look up and greet your maker,
For Gabriel blows his horn.
Travelin' down that lonesome road,
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
Weary totin', it's such a load,
Whike I'm travelin' down, travelin' down that lonesome old road,
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
The song "Lonesome Road" encourages the listener to be introspective and reflective before embarking on their journey. The first two lines of the song serve as a warning to those who are about to embark on a journey to take a moment and consider where they are going. The repetition of the phrase "look down, look down that lonesome road" reinforces the need for caution and introspection. It is important to know where you are going before you move forward.
The next two lines of the song encourage the listener to look up and greet their maker before they move forward. The reference to Gabriel blowing his horn is a biblical reference to the end of time, implying that the listener should ensure that they are ready to meet their maker, both figuratively and literally. The final two lines of the song repeat the need for caution and acknowledge that the journey can be a weary one. The use of the words "totin'" and "load" emphasize the idea that the journey may be a difficult one, but again, it is important to look down that lonesome road before you travel on.

Surely a most beautiful, tasteful performance. The tender tone of Louis Nelson's trombone, the perfect decoration by George Lewis on the second chorus, the discreet fluttering around the arpeggios by De De, the delicacy of Narvin Kimball, Chester Zardis and even Cie Frazier, Billie's voice blending in as another instrument - all perfection.
