[Instrument break] [Verse 1] Too much time thinking about all of my mistakes My heart, my mind, my soul, my body ache A hunger for the loving arms of your embrace I walk along the lonely road
[Verse 2] Too much time thinking about everything that went wrong I cry my eyes out every time I hear your song I hope this path brings me back where I belong I walk along the lonely road
[Chorus] I walk along the lonely road My back is strong girl, I carry the load All the grinding time, I pay the debt that's owed I walk along the lonely road
[Verse 3] Too much pride for me to up and take the blame Deep inside, girl it's killing me with pain Every night I sleep, I call your name I walk along the lonely road
[Chorus] I walk along the lonely road My back is strong girl, I carry the load All the grinding time, I pay the debt that's owed I walk along the lonely road
I walk along the lonely road My back is strong girl, I carry the load All the grinding time, I pay the debt that's owed I walk along the lonely road I walk along the lonely road, I walk along the lonely road

This song is about making a life in a time of moving on. Though “Lonely Road” isn’t nearly his most famous work, it did earn Everlast a reference in Eminem’s landmark hit, “Lose Yourself” (“Lonely Road’s got him”), which told a similar “white trash” tale.
