Lonesome And A Long Way From Home Lyrics

Out on an open highway
Such a lovely day
But something's wrong
Something, something gotta be wrong
I just left home this morning
This old road keeps rollin' on and on
Rollin' rollin' on and on
Can somebody help me?
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
I've never been so lonesome
And a long way from home
Never been lonesome
And a long way from home
Never been so lonely

Ooh something, something's wrong
Rollin' on and on, rollin' rollin' on and on

Won't somebody help me?
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
Oh never been so lonesome
And a long way from home
Never been so lonesome
And a long way from home
Never been so lonely

ooh ooh never never never
Never been so lonesome
Never been so lonely
Never been so lonesome
Never been so lonely
Never been so lonesome
Never been so lonely

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
