If You're Gonna Love Someone - The Infamous Stringdusters

I was lost on a road trip to nowhere

Broken blacktop backroads on the dark side of the moon

Then you appeared like some kind of apparition

Like a ghost or a magician from out of the blue

You said it’s a long and a lonesome road you’re traveling on

Don’t know where you’re going or where you’re coming from

Got no reason to worry, life goes on

But you gotta love yourself if you’re gonna love someone

If you’re gonna love someone

I woke up from the dream I’ve been dreaming

Sunlight was streaming into the room

Things had changed, felt like something had shifted

Like a weigh had been lifted and not a moment too soon

I said it’s a long and a lonesome road you’re traveling on

Don’t know where you’re going or where you’re coming from

Got no reason to worry, life goes on

But you gotta love yourself if you’re gonna love someone

If you’re gonna love someone

I was scared, had my senses deceive me

I wonder would my friends believe me or think that I’d gone mad?

So I stood still and I let go of the sinking

'Til I heard a voice speaking from beyond the blue

And it said it’s a long and a lonesome road you’re traveling on

Don’t know where you’re going or where you’re coming from

Got no reason to worry, life goes on

But you gotta love yourself if you’re gonna love someone

If you’re gonna love someone

If you’re gonna love someone
