When a man leaves his home and walks out in this world alone   Leaves behind all the friends that he's known then a man is on his own      I walk through the night through the cold and the sight of a tombstone chills my soul   My mother's name is carved there in the stone   I would have been here long before if I had known   I don't know where my life's road will end this guitar is my only true friend   It takes the place of love I've never known it reminds me that I am on my own   When a man leaves his home...   Then a man is on his own
