Which Green Day song begins with 'I walk a lonely road'?

The Green Day song that begins with “I walk a lonely road” is “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” The song opens with Billie Joe Armstrong describing isolation and uncertainty, setting the mood for one of the band’s most recognizable singles.

“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” was released in 2004 as part of Green Day’s seventh studio album, American Idiot. The album is a politically charged rock opera, and the song follows “Holiday” in the album’s narrative sequence. Its reflective tone contrasts with the more aggressive punk energy heard elsewhere on the record.

The song became one of Green Day’s biggest commercial successes, reaching the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the 2006 Grammy Award for Record of the Year. A common mix-up is confusing it with “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” another major Green Day hit, but that song begins with acoustic guitar and has a very different lyrical theme. “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” was also included in the stage musical American Idiot.
