That’s What It’s Like To Be Lonesome

The streets are dark and empty as you walk them all alone

You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong

You go to bed each night afraid you’ll never see the dawn

Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown

And that’s what it’s like to be lonesome

With a heart a broken love taught to cry

And that’s what it’s like to be lonesome

I know cause I’m a mighty lonesome guy

You search to find a tavern where the music is playing loud

You try to lose your heartaches in the laughter of the crowd

But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been

And you have to fight the teardrops till you’re by yourself again

And that’s what it’s like to be lonesome

With a heart a broken love taught to cry

And that’s what it’s like to be lonesome

I know cause I’m a mighty lonesome guy
