She was on her way home had to detour away
Just to keep all the wolves at bay
Just a couple of hundred feet from the place she called home
On the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
But the wolves they were hungry and the fire trucks rolled by
Like they always done before
And she never felt the earth shake from the jaw to the quay
'Til she found that note on her door
It's just hard to feel alone
It's just hard to feel alone
Her friend Debbie well she moved down to Houston
On the wrong end of a ball and chain
And she misses her friends and the love they'd lend
On the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
And her husband was a man with the softest hands
And a love that he claimed was true
But even the softest hands when clenched in fists of anger
Will turn the most lilywhite skin blue
It's just hard to feel alone
It's just hard to feel alone
Me I'm still rambling
Yeah out here gambling
And mostly in the fast lane
But I'd be lying if I said
I didn't miss my friends
And the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
But we all got a passion
Carry out in a fashion
Might not keep the wolves at bay
But they hunt me in the lights
And then howl in the night
While i try hard to make my way
It's just hard to feel alone
It's just hard to feel alone
It's just hard to feel alone
It's just hard to feel alone
Something to be said about the place you were raised
If it's a small town like Coeur d'Alene
