used to see him hanging around everywhere in a world of his own see him hanging round street corners where we would meet he was a lonely kid now they tell us that he's moved on ain't been seen for so long don't know where he's gone...
it's been so long, but I'm on the road and though it ain't been easy at least I made it on my own my tongue's been tied for far too long and now you're gonna hear me at least I know where I belong...
S.O.L.O. I'm on the road S.O.L.O. I'm on my own
y'see everybody's got someone to lay their troubled lives upon I'm really glad I've only got my own...
once upon a time, well I had lots of friends I moved freely through their lives but two's a couple and, well three's a crowd I was just left out hanging around I've had as much now as I can take there ain't no need to stay...
S.O.L.O. I'm on the road S.O.L.O. I'm all alone and everybody smiles as I go walking by but I 'm really glad I've only got my own...
