- The Lonesome Road LyricsLook down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
True love, true love, what have I done
Tell me what have I done that you should treat me so
You caused me, yes, you caused me
To walk and talk like I never did before
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
True love, true love, what have I done
Tell me what have I done that you should treat me so
You caused me, yes, you caused me
To walk and talk like I never did before
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road
Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
