Lyrics
You're in Adair, Georgia
It's windy and it's cold
You're stuck at the Texaco
'Cause your car won't start
There's this born again trucker
He offers you a jump
And he invites you to his church
To let Jesus in your heart
Now some are born to love
Some are born to cry
Some will believe
What others will deny
By and by what you see
As your history is shown
Is you were born to go it alone
Yes, some are just born to go it
Go it alone
Your kids are back in Texas
With your ex's relations
You sent them a funny postcard
A few weeks ago
That you wrote in the back seat
In some woods by an airport
Singing sad songs to no one
Watching the planes come and go
Now some are born to sing
Some are born to lie
Some are redeemed
Some wither and die
By and by as your dreams
Like leaves are sadly blown
You see you're born to go it alone
Yes, some are just born to go it
Go it alone
At the Goodwill downtown
You can eat twice a day
There's a spot by the bookshelves
They don't mind if you lay
Let the stories surround you
All sun and winds
Yes, it's a fine quiet place
To just sit and
Rest your head
And close your eyes
You're in Adair, Georgia
You're 38 years old
Now you're following that trucker
To this church up the road
You'll go inside and say a prayer
If it's a lie, well you don't care
You'll cut your hair
You'll date the square
You'll do anything that it takes
In this world
Not to go it alone
'Cause it's just too hard
To go it all alone
