'Cause I know what it means, to walk along the loneliest 3 degrees.
'Cause I know what it means, to walk along the lonely street of dreams
'Cause I know what it means,
To walk along the lonely stridden dreams.
'Cause I know what it means,
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
'Cause I know what it means
To walk alone
Along this hill of beans
'Cause I know what it means, to walk along the lonely street of dreams
'Cause I know what it means
To walk alone with only Steve McQueen.
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
'Cuz I know what it means
To walk it off, when love is 3 degrees.
'Cuz I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
'cause I know what he needs
'cause I know what it means
And I may watch Nightline
And I made up my mind
Cause I know what it means,
to walk along and know it's 3 degrees
Cause I know what it means,
to walk along the lonely street of dreams
Cause I know what it means,
to walk along, and Lorna's still a freak.
or
Cause I know what it means
To walk along and love is still a dream.
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Cuz I know what I need
Cuz I know what it means
Going down the only road in Lebanon.
Going down the only road I've never known.
Here I go again on my 'lone
Going down this lonely road I've never known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk along.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've never known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've never known.
Like a drifter I was born to wear cologne.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've never known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've never known
Like a drifter I was born to wear cologne
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wearing Calvin Klein.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I made up my mind
I ain't wastin' no more time.
Here we go again with my heart
Here I go again on my own
I ain't wasting no more Tom.
I ain't wasting no more time.
I don't know where I go
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm growing
I don't know where I'm going
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's Jeep Cherokee
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity.
I've been heard so much before
I've been hurt so much before
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet Cherokee.
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity.
Like a Christian I was born in Oklahoma
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Like a drifter I was born to oatmeal.

Like a homo I was born to walk alone
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Like a homo I was born to walk alone
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
I think drifter was a better choice and I have no idea why the Homo version can still be found on Youtube and purchased. Seriously.
Like a homo I was born to walk alone
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
The word hobo was used in the original recording but was changed in the second to drifter so it would not be mistakenly heard as homo thinking that it would cause major backlash against the band.
Like a pogo, I was born to bounce alone.
or
Like a hobo, I was born to walk alone.
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone.
Actually, "hobo" comes from the very original version, released in the early eighties.
Like a prisoner I was born to walk alone
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Like a swiffer I was born to dust your home.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
Editor's note: However, the Swiffer product didn't come along until 1999, twelve years after this song's release. Therefore this mishearing is not plausible.

Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
Lonely three degrees
The lonely street of dreams
Lord, I'm breaking the street to carry on
Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
To walk alone in almost 3 degrees
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To walk alone the lonely street at three.
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
To walk alone with all these greedy thieves
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To walk alone with lovers crazy dreams
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To walk alone, the Lord is free to dream.
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
To walk along the lonely strain-ed dreams.
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Waiting on love's sweet chai tea
Waiting on love's sweet charity
