Song lyrics
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

I'm an Army wife, and my husband was in Korea for a year. At one point in time, we both went through an extreme frustration that we could not physically just hold each other. I guess this song just reminds me of that, and even though THAT wasn't a good time, I adore this song.

Every great metal band has at least one country-esque song (Metallica's "Mama Said" comes to mind here). I have recently taken a liking to such songs even with my semi-disdain of that genre. When I first heard this song, it was right before my fiancee was leaving to see some family. Her family doesn't exactly like me so I couldn't go. So yeah... It hit hard.

I don't usually like anything that has even a little country influence in it, but this song is just awesome!

I love the lyrics. it seems like he really regretted leaving the one he loves. It's just so different from the usual a7x songs, it has that country sound. hahahaha but that makes a7x a great band since they can play any kind of songs! GO AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!

good song, better than gunslinger, don't quite understand why they'd put in a country twang though
