On Your Own

Freeway signs
flashing lines
a car
on an empty road
keep one eye
on the rear view mirror
everywhere you go
headlight beams
and taillights
seem
so very much
the same
keep one eye
on the flashing lines
keep that tape deck
playing

'Cause you're on your own
you're on your own
it's midnight
in L.A.
you're on your own
you're on your own
and she's a million miles
away
you're on your own
you're on your own
it's midnight
in L.A.
you're on your own
you're on your own
she's a million miles
away

Solo

An engine heaves
scattering leaves
hurtling
out of town
somewhere along
the road one night
you lost her love
somehow

Now you're on your own
you're on your own
it's midnight
in L.A.
you're on your own
you're on your own
and she's a million miles
away
you're on your own
you're on your own
it's midnight
in L.A.
you're on your own
you're on your own
she's a million miles
away

you're on your own

you're on your own
