Yesterday, paper roses, they forgot to bloom
So walk away, hang your head upon the hollow moon

You've got to ride lonesome
You've got to try to find the road
You've got to cry a river
Follow it all the way home alone

She is gone, you can't put your arms round a memory
You know it's wrong to turn your heart into your worst enemy

You've got to ride lonesome
You've got to try to find the road
You've got to cry a river
Follow it all the way home alone

What are you gonna say to the [?]
When it's shining down on you?
Where are you gonna ride tomorrow
When your days are running wild?
Oh oh

You say so long to the world that's still a part of you
There's no song to tell your heart what it already knew

You've got to ride lonesome
You've got to try to find the road
You've got to cry an ocean
Follow it all the way home alone
