"Ride Lonesome" lyrics

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

You got to ride lonesome
You got to try to find the road
You got to cry a river
And follow it all the way home
Alone

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

You got to ride lonesome
You got to try to find the road
You got to cry a river
And follow it all the way home
Alone

What are you going to say to the mantle of moon
When it's shining down on you?
Where are you gonna ride tomorrow
When all your days are running wild?
Oh-whoa

Say so long
To the one who's still a part of you
'Cause there's no song
That could tell your heart when it already knew

You got to ride lonesome
You got to try to find the road
You got to cry an ocean
And follow it all the way home
Alone
