"Long Lonesome Ride" lyrics

I come from the nightlife
Daytime folks don't understand
The feeling leaves me with the sunrise
I feel it slip right through my hands

I know the hours are precious
Some designed to test us
Fear's the one thing keeping man alive
But all the roads not taken are shaping up and making
For a long lonesome ride
It's a long lonesome ride

I've turned history's pages
I have seen the folly of man
I have watched the canyons of our civilization
Worn down buy wind and sand

We know that time is fleeting
History bears repeating
So take care when you're choosing up your sides
For all the tracks you've laid give in to the bed you've made
On a long lonesome ride
On a long lonesome ride

Think I'll ride off in the sunset
Leave my worries far behind
If you're the kind that goes out lookin' for some trouble
You can have what's left of mine

We know not were the time went
So be sure that it's been spent
On things that make you glad to be alive
For all the tracks you've covered are soon to be discovered
On a long lonesome ride
It's been a long lonesome ride
