Lonesome of the Road Lyrics by Elizabeth Swados

The Liz Swados Project

2020

Sitting on the roof watching the sun go down
And people and buses and taxis
You don’t know what I’m thinking and worrying about
But in my own way I’ll soon find comfort
In the lonesome of the road
Out on the street, lonely crazy ladies run free
I hope they’re not scared and I wonder will that soon be me
But in my own mind I’ll find my reason
In the lonesome of the road
Take away the words the songs and all the things I had before
Take away the city’s pain and lies that I’ve endured
Give me a way to survive and I’ll fight for my life
After all I’m just starting out and I still got a while
I’vе got my road map, I’ve got advice from my good friends
I’vе got my head clear but that’s not where the struggle will end
And in my own time I’ll find my answers
In the lonesome of the road
In the lonesome of the road
Parents make up your mind do you want children?
Parents make up your mind do you want children?
Set me free and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Set me free and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Let me be young before I get old
Let me be a kid
Just let me be young before I get old
Let me be a kid
Just let me be young
That’s what I am
Young, so let me be young that’s what I am
Young, so let me be young that’s what I am
Young, so let me be young that’s what I am
Young!
Let me be a kid!
