Letra

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again
Here I go again

Though 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
'Cause 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
But 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
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And 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
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And 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
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

And 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
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Curiosidades

A versão remixada de 1987 foi modificada lyricamente, substituindo a frase "Like a hobo I was born to walk alone" pela nova linha "Like a drifter I was born to walk alone".

O clipe da música tornou-se um fenômeno na MTV ao mostrar a atriz Tawny Kitaen dançando sensualmente sobre o capô de dois carros Jaguar, sendo posteriormente listado pelo New York Times como um dos 15 clipes essenciais do Hair-Metal.

A faixa alcançou a posição de número 1 na parada US Billboard Hot 100 em 10 de outubro de 1987, marcando o único sucesso na liderança desse ranking para a banda Whitesnake.

A canção ganhou notoriedade em 2002 quando um DJ dos Chicago White Sox foi demitido por tocar a música no estádio enquanto o jogador Chuck Finley, então divórcio de Tawny Kitaen, aquecia-se para uma partida contra os Cleveland Indians.

Nos bastidores da composição, a música documenta o fim do primeiro casamento de David Coverdale com sua esposa Julia, sendo escrita em 1981 após a banda fazer uma pausa porque a filha de Coverdale adoeceu.

O diretor do clipe, Marty Callner, cedeu um de seus próprios carros Jaguar para as filmagens, enquanto o outro veículo pertencia ao vocalista David Coverdale.
