What song includes the lyrics "I walk a lonely road the only one..."?

The song containing the lyrics “I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known” is “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day. It appears on the band's seventh studio album, American Idiot.

Released in 2004, the song is one of the album's central tracks and presents a lonely, reflective perspective. Within American Idiot's loosely connected narrative, it follows the fictional Jesus of Suburbia after he leaves familiar people and places behind, confronting isolation and uncertainty.

The song became one of Green Day's biggest international hits. Its music video depicts the band walking through a bleak desert landscape after their car breaks down, reinforcing the song's imagery of solitary movement and emotional disconnection. The track combines a restrained verse with a broad, memorable chorus and layered rock production.

This title can be confused with “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” a separate 1933 song written by Al Dubin and Harry Warren. The lyric in this question belongs specifically to Green Day's 2004 rock song, not the older Paris-set standard.
