Here I Go Again -- Whitesnake

I don't know where I'm going  But, I sure know where I've been Hanging on the promises 
In songs of yesterday An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer, I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Lord, I pray You give me strength to carry on, 'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

(**)  An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue, Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on For the rest of my days, 'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

(**)  

But, here I go again,  Here I go again,  Here I go again,
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone  'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own  Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone  An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...  But, here I go again,                      (sing365)


While it's typically thought of as an inspiring song about facing your challenges head-on, it's really a song about heartbreak and the loneliness that comes with it. The song documents the breakdown of Coverdale's first marriage to Julia, who he tied the knot with in 1974. (songfacts)
