I could be and be free
Go to every party
And be me and funny
Maybe then they’d see
I can laugh I could smile 
Go out drinking and be wild
If I wasn’t such a lonely child

I could dance and romance
Lose my pants at every chance
I could croon I could swoon
Without a care in the night like a loon
I could pay for my meals
But I feel the need to steal
I wish I wasn’t such a lonely road

It seems to me
Man cannot be free
Knowing what he knows

And if I try
Well then lord please let me die
I wish I wasn’t such a lonely road

I could go with the flow
And just float along
I could chill and get ill
And take hits from the bong
I could go to the movies
By myself and not feel wrong
If mine wasn’t such a lonely song

It seems to me
Man cannot be free
Knowing what he knows

And if I try
Well then Jesus let me die
I wish I wasn’t such a lonely
Such an old an lonely
I wish I wasn’t such a cold and lonely road
