Recorded Live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur Georgia

lyrics

She caught a railroad out of town
Destination unknown
Bound for some new sights and some new sounds
That she had never known
But when the night time rain came fallin'
Swore she heard her name a-callin'
Ask her what's her game,
She'll stall and say,

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway

Since she made it out this far,
She swore someday she'll be a star,
You'll see her on the big screen one fine day
But since she left it seems so shallow
Every dream she wished to follow
Leaves her here to sing one hollow phrase

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway

Now the night moon floods her city room
A pale and empty lonely gloom
She'll make her way to the windows and close the shades
She'll pin it down and shut it out
The outside world can't see her now
She'll sing herself to sleep just like every other day

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway

Well it must have been a hundred years
Passed and gone and left him here
In the mirror his reflection starts to fade
He's an old man in an old world dying
It's hard to see the sense in trying
Attitudes he'll have through dying days

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway

Well maybe somewhere in memories
He'd caught a dream he'd never seen
Somewhere along his tattered history page
Way too foolish then to even know
He made the choice not long ago
He closed his eyes and turned his head away

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway

And he says to this day i walk alone
Along familiar roads I roam
No family to even see on holidays
And a bitter man I have become
Until my life's last falling sun
Will close my eyes and carry me away

I walk alone down life's sad highway
I walk alone down life's sad highway
