Here I Go Again
Whitesnake · 1982
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Here I go again on my own
- Goin' down the only road I've ever known
- Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
- An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Sing the opening verse
- I don't know where I'm goin'
- But I sure know where I've been
- Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
- An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
