(Verse)
If I had stopped to listen once or twic[C/G]e
If[G/F#] I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I’d not be on this road tonight
Carry on, (carry on) never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn’t save you from your troubled mind

(Chorus)
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourse[C/G]lf
Don’t [G/F#]turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon is shining high above the trees
