[Verse 1]
I tried to get over you
I tried to find something new
But all I could ever do was fill my time
With thoughts of you

[Verse 2]
I tried to go somewhere old
To search for my pot of gold
But all I could ever hold inside my mind
Were thoughts of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your music and it's driving me wild
Familiar rhythms in a different style
I hear your music, and it's driving me wild again, oh

[Chorus]
Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

[Guitar Solo]
Yeah!
Oh, lonely, lonely road

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your music, and it's driving me wild
Familiar rhythms in a different style
I hear your music, and it's driving me wild again

[Chorus]
Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

Don't want to let you take me down
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

[Outro]
I don't wanna walk that lonely road, no
Don't wanna, don't wanna walk that lonely road
Don't wanna walk that lonely road
I don't wanna walk it
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna walk that lonely road
I don't wanna walk that lonely road again
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna walk that lonely road
No, no
No, no

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
