[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

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
