Walk That Road Alone

You came home, skin and bones That winter in Chicago really did you in Went traipsing through the wild unknown Just to find she couldn't love you in the end Back down south, your parents' house Is up for sale and nothing's sacred anymore And in the shadow of your doubts You can see her standing in the kitchen door Can you learn to improvise When you're sinking like a stone Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind Can you walk that road alone Can you walk that road alone Yesterday is a dog-eared page And it's a long way on the bus so you've got time to read Milk and honey, saving grace Is there still time for the next guy that you wanna be Can you learn to improvise When you're sinking like a stone Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind Can you walk that road alone Can you walk that road alone Can you stand resolute with your face in the wind Can you walk that road alone Can you walk that road alone
