What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Following the footsteps
2
That you gave me, I walked out alone,
3
Highway stretching out in front of me
4
There I saw the billboards
5
And the smoke from the refinery
6
Where the open sky had used to be
7
Passing through the small towns
8
With their clapboard houses beaten down
9
I could hear the distant church bell ring
10
There, beneath the maple trees
11
It all comes rushing back to me
12
A simple thing forgotten long ago
13
Long ago
14
Long ago
15
I heard those bells toll.
16
I walk alone
17
I am on a lonely road
18
I walk alone
19
Just see the roadside flowers, look how they have grown
20
I have been in cities where
21
The multitudes enveloped me
22
Stations and the depots felt so cold
23
Looked up at the city spires,
24
They couldn't build them any higher,
25
A giant's teeth were clenched around my soul
26
I walked along the riverside
27
To watch the changing of the tides
28
Tryin' to find some treasure in this place
29
Then my eyes were opened wide
30
When I saw the blood-red tide
31
And the black cloud hanging over me
32
Over me
33
Over me
34
Hanging over me
35
I walk alone
36
I am on the lonely road
37
I walk alone
38
To see the roadside flowers, look how they have grown
39
Hey, hey
40
Uphill the road of factories
41
Reminding me of battlefields
42
Where our brightest promises were lost
43
Overcome by fire and steel,
44
Groaning for humanity,
45
A thousand voices drowning in that road
46
While, this is Mr. Harriman -
47
He built his stakes on railroad blood,
48
Rolling in his comforts and his spoils
49
With the wind, we headed west
50
Taking little time rest
51
Felt the prairies burning under me
52
Under me
53
Under me
54
Burning under me
55
I walk alone
56
I am on a lonely road
57
I walk alone
58
Just see the roadside flowers, look how they have grown
59
I walk alone
60
I am on a lonely road
61
I walk alone
62
To see the roadside flowers, look how they have grown
63
Yeah (I am on a lonely road)
64
[repeat chorus]
