I wrote the lyrics for this song and a friend put it to music. It's mainly acoustic with Tanner singing.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song but hadn't worked out the chord structure yet. A friend, Tanner Hodges, said he had something that might work and .... Lost. I hope you like it.
Lyrics
Lost - (c)2008 Mike Wehrman/Tanner Hodges I stopped and asked directions from an old man in his rocking chair He asked me where I was headed said home, if I find my way there Then he asked if I was married I said, been alone for all of my years Then he shook his head and said to me, son, you'll never get home from here It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home It's only when your paths are crossed That the way will be shown It's only when your true love's gone You know what it means too be alone It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home He proceeded to tell a story of his wife of sixty years how his wife had died last May as he was choking back the tears and his family put him in this place because his mind had become unclear Then he shook his head and said to me, son, how do I get home from here It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home It's only when your paths are crossed That the way will be shown It's only when your true love's gone You know what it means too be alone It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home That was thirty years ago I grew a family and they're leaving here now the youngest is getting married and I'm pushing back the tears well I gave my son directions if your ever lost, you won't need to fear then I shook my head and said to him, son, it will always be home right here It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home It's only when your paths are crossed That the way will be shown It's only when your true love's gone You know what it means too be alone It's only when your lost in love That you'll find your way back home
