Lonely

This old House is as empty as my heart

There four walls are closin in on me

And I don't know where to start

Cause if the night that she left me

All the miles in between

Whatever it is Lord is Killin me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Well I know that she missed me

I can hear it in her voice

Work call me away from home

You know it never was my choice

Guess she had all she could stand

So she packed up and run

Now the tables turn and all the pains on me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Now her side of the bed is cold

And all that I have left to hold

Is a whiskey bottle and her memory

Her make up and her clothes are gone

This house ain't really a home

All that left is pain and misery

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

The flame in this old fire place is burnin' strong

And my heart is feelin weak

This picture that I'm holding is the only memory I can keep

Well the trains left the tracks

It ain't coming back

And who's to blame the engineer is me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Now her side of the bed is cold

And all that I have left to hold

Is a whiskey bottle and her memory

Her make up and her clothes are gone

This house ain't really a home

All that left is pain and misery

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

I guess lonely was a bad place to be
