On a long and lonesome highway,

east of omaha.

You can listen to the engines moaning
out as one note song.
You think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before.

But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do,
When youre riding sixteen hours
and theres nothing much to do.
And you dont feel much like riding,
you just wish the trip was through.

Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant,
strung out from the road.
And you feel the eyes upon you,
as youre shaking off the cold.
You pretend it doesnt bother you,
but you just want to explode.

Yeah, most times you cant hear em talk,
other times you can.
All the same old cliches,
is it woman? is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered,
you dont dare make a stand
Make your stand

Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

out there in the spotlight,
youre a million miles away.
Every ounce of energy you try to give away.
As the sweat pours out your body ,
like the music that you play.

Later in the evening,
you lie awake in bed.
With the echoes of the amplifiers
ringing in your head.
You smoke the days last cigarette,
remembering what she said,
What she said.

And here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on a stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn that page
There I go, yeah, yeah
And Im gone

the UnforgiVen

New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pained disgrace,
The young boy learns "their" rules.

With time the child draws in,
This whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man strugggles on and on,
He's known a vow unto his own.
That never from this day,
His will they'll take away.

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN.


They dedicate their lives,
To RUNNING all of this.
He tries to please THEM all,
This bitter man he is!
Throughout his life the same,
He's battled constantly.
This fight he cannot win,
A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares,
To die regretfully.

That old man here is me



What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free
Never me
So I dub "thee" UNFORGIVEN.

Never Free
Never Me
So I dub "thee" UNFORGIVEN

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub "thee" UNFORGIVEN
