"Lonesome Ring Road" lyrics by Benjamin Newman ttto: "That Lonesome Road" by James Taylor and Dan Grolnick / G C -G D - / G - CD / Em DC DC- - / G -D G - / Walk down that lonesome road, where shadows lie. No one but you can carry your burden, Or hide it from the piercing gaze of the Lidless Eye That looks across this dreary land. / G C G - / - Em C D / Am - Em C - / G -D G - / Though you are by my side, I'm still alone, For the weight I bear has turned me to stone, And all I see is a Ring of Fire, And one red Eye that seeks its Own. / C - / C D G / Em D C - / Carry on! (Carry on!) Don't ever think to keep it for yourself, It's much too heavy for your soul to bear. Walk down that lonesome road, all by yourself. Not even you can let go of you burden, So someone else must bear it into the Crack of Doom, Though it will still be in your hand.
