This is actually a twofold thingy... I ran across a beautiful song called "That Lonesome Road" on a King's Singers album. It's listed as being by James Taylor and some other guy.. anyone know where I can find a copy of the original version? And if you think the lyrics should be added (I'm not sure what genre James Taylor falls into...), here they are....

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees

If I had only listened once or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I'd not be on this road tonight

Carry on.. never run feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn't save you from your troubled mind

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees

Sla/n, Kiwi

I think it's "never mind feeling sorry for yourself". I've always loved this song.
