Looking out my rear view mirror The miles behind don't disappear Like they used to When I was with you However hard I hit the gas The engine don't run half as fast As it once did When we were just kids All of the good old days are gone But this life keeps rolling on On and on It's good to be alone No one to call you on the phone After a month out on the road No one to tell you welcome home No one to scratch you down your back No one to cut you any slack You got to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone The mountain tops don't stand so high The open road ain't quite as wide As it once seemed When we had the same dream The evening stars don't shine so bright When we don't make love through the night Like we once did Yeah, those lights are faded All of the good old days are gone But this life keeps rolling on On and on It's good to be alone No one to call you on the phone After a month out on the road No one to tell you welcome home No one to scratch you down your back No one to cut you any slack You got to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone Alone, alone Alone, alone Alone, alone You'll learn to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone
