Out on a lonesome highway
A weary drifter plays a tune
A serenade to the dying day
As it gives way to the moon
Mornings on the other side
And it's coming far to soon
He kicks out at the darkness
Of his empty silhouette
Just a shadow of a man
Like the dad he never met
Weaving down the road of life
Fuelled by whiskey and regret
He's a missing person falling down
With no one around to hear the sound
The silent story of the unknown
'Cause in the diary of a nobody'
Some men are fated to suffer alone
'Yea in the diary of a nobody'
Some men are fated to suffer alone
Now all he wants is his freedom
Instead of being strung along
Like some unloved misfit puppet
Who could never fix what was wrong
As his tears became idle drops
Forever painting his sad song
So he looks for comfort where he can find it
