Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd be glad to tell you the story
About a solitary road
You can't take nobody with you
And you ain't coming back if you go
[Verse 2]
It's a highway teeming with blackjack
On every corner, young Jezebels
Well, they say it can lead to salvation
But you won't be able to tell
'Cause it's a solitary road
[Verse 3]
I was only a wanderer
A lonely child of circumstance
When I heard that nightingale calling me
And he flew right into my hands
[Verse 4]
Well, he told me they'd rise up against me
As it turned out, this was the case
I saw jackals roaming the valleys
Grifters all over the place
See, it's a solitary road
[Verse 5]
A kingdom lay high on the mountain
I could see it through rain and snow
Many had fallen in fields beside me
As I cross over every road
[Verse 6]
When I reached those gates of the city
I was trembling, I have to confess
Eyes of judgment lay heavy upon me
The red sun hung low in the west
On the solitary road
