Walk That Road Alone
Finding Solace in Solitude
Lyrics
You came home, skin and bones
You returned, emaciated and frail
That winter in Chicago really did you in
The harsh winter in Chicago took a toll on you
Went traipsing through the wild unknown
You explored unfamiliar territory
Just to find she couldn't love you in the end
Yet discovered she couldn't reciprocate love in the end
Back down south, your parents' house
Your childhood home in the southern region is on the market
Is up for sale and nothing's sacred anymore
Nothing is considered sacred anymore
And in the shadow of your doubts
Amidst your uncertainties
You can see her standing in the kitchen door
You can envision her by the kitchen door
Can you learn to improvise
Can you adapt on the spot?
When you're sinking like a stone
When facing a profound challenge
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Can you remain steadfast against adversity?
Can you walk that road alone
Can you navigate a difficult journey without companionship?
Can you walk that road alone
Reiteration of the challenge to walk the road alone
Yesterday is a dog-eared page
The past is a worn-out chapter
And it's a long way on the bus so you've got time to read
A lengthy bus ride provides time for reflection
Milk and honey, saving grace
Prosperity and solace can still be attained
Is there still time for the next guy that you wanna be
Is there time left to become the person you aspire to be?
Can you learn to improvise
Reiteration of the need to adapt in challenging circumstances
When you're sinking like a stone
When sinking into difficulties
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Remaining resolute in the face of adversity
Can you walk that road alone
Repeating the question of navigating a challenging path alone
Can you walk that road alone
Reiteration of the challenge to walk the road alone
Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind
Being unwavering with the wind against your face
Can you walk that road alone
Reiteration of the challenge to walk the road alone
Can you walk that road alone
