Lonely Is Another State

(album: Eye Of A Hurricane - 1984)

There's nothing I feel stronger than the need to travel on
Never knowing where I'm going or how long I'll be gone
There's no need making promises 'cause promises are something I can't keep

These highways are old memories I've traveled many times
And there's no destination on the road map in my mind
And somethin's always calling me to a place I hope I'll find

And this old road gets kinda lonesome
And sometimes I get lonesome too
But I know it won't last forever
Lonely is another state and I'm just passing through

Back when I was younger, I tried to settle down
I had a good job in a factory and a house outside of town
But I felt the need to be somewhere I'd never been before

And if I don't see tomorrow, I'm thankful for today
And all the things I've ever seen while traveling on my way
Every change of time and scenery and the friends I've met along the way

And this old road gets kinda lonesome
And sometimes I get lonesome too
But I know it won't last forever
'Cause lonely is another state and I'm just passing through
