Once upon a time, Green Day wrote a little poem:
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams

Seventeen years earlier, Whitesnake also wrote a poem:
I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
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
