🎤 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
