HERE I GO

Walking down the highway I see a lonely man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands  So I asked him what’s the problem and this is what he said

My wife left me took the car and the kids

My house burnt down and my dog is now dead

I have nowhere to go, no shelter for my head

So here I go on my own again

Walking through those dusty fields

Here I go where no one has been

Here I go down the road

So I turned to him and said I’d walk a ways with him

For I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to

I am walking to forget my troubles to

Together we picked up our packs and walking sticks and started down the road

We walk for a ways then cut through a cornfield filling our packs as we go.

So here we go on my own again

Walking through those dusty fields

Here we go where no one has been

Here we go down the road

Later in the evening we stopped to set up camp

We start a roaring fire and take the corn from our packs

We cooked an ate the corn and went to bed

In the morning I woke to find my friend had gone

He left a note on my pack before the breaking dawn

It said thanks for the friendship but now I must move on

So here I go on my own again

Walking through those dusty fields

Here I go where no one has been

Here I go down the road
