Ruby Mae Carter sings a cappella with light organ
Oh, lonesome mile, carry me slow Through the dark, where the lost souls go
Slide guitar joins softly, song begins
The road stretches out like a mournful sigh
Just me and the stars in a midnight sky
Each mile I drive feels colder than stone
Lonesome mile, I'm ridin' alone
The silence cuts deeper than any knife
Echoes of a long-forgotten life
Lonesome mile, you're my only friend
Holdin' my heart till the bitter end
No light ahead, just the road I roam
Lonesome mile, you're my only home
The windshield reflects a man I don't know
Haunted by dreams I had long ago
The blacktop hums with a sorrowful tune
Lonesome mile, beneath a weepin' moon
The past keeps callin', it won't let me be
Tied to the road for eternity
Lonesome mile, you're my only friend
Holdin' my heart till the bitter end
No light ahead, just the road I roam
Lonesome mile, you're my only home
The night's my prison, the road's my chain
Every mile's a memory of pain
No savior waits where the shadows fall
Lonesome mile, you've taken it all
Lonesome mile, you're my only friend
Holdin' my heart till the bitter end
No light ahead, just the road I roam
Lonesome mile, you're my only home
Oh, lonesome mile, carry me slow Through the dark, where the lost souls go
Slide guitar and organ fade slowly, Ruby Mae's voice lingers.
