I know you're lonely but just walk on down the road
It's not far to go
I've been so hungry but I'll tighten up my belt
Back home I go
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Carpet road is like a film set
And all the actors have gone home
The lonely feeling outside this road
Is like the loneliness in my soul
Keep your women and your wine and your money
Cause I'm just doing fine
I got a feeling
Gonna have to make it on my own this time
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Down carpet road
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Down carpet road
Down carpet road
Down carpet road
It's not far to go
I've been so hungry but I'll tighten up my belt
Back home I go
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Carpet road is like a film set
And all the actors have gone home
The lonely feeling outside this road
Is like the loneliness in my soul
Keep your women and your wine and your money
Cause I'm just doing fine
I got a feeling
Gonna have to make it on my own this time
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Down carpet road
Oh, and it takes a long long lonely time
Wohh, a hard hill to climb
With love on my side
I'm gonna be alright
Wohh, now you watch me go
Down carpet road
Down carpet road
Down carpet road
