[Verse 1]
I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Verse 2]
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Bridge]
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Bridge]
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Verse 2]
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Bridge]
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[Bridge]
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
[Chorus]
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
