    Lyrics

    all day on blacktop roads, ballcap for want of shade
    sleeping out nights alone, curled up in forest glades
    so lonesome sometimes I could almost quit
    wonder where my lady is, to talk to as we walk through it
    and I can hear heavenly music, comin out amplified
    cumulous clouds and canola fields stretch out gold and wide
    and that strange dislocation, waiting on rides and in laundromats
    gets easier to take when you remember that
    old curious feeling you used to get
    staring off down highways, and watching vapor trails from jets
    and looking up a moonlit creek I was feeling like my younger self
    itching to go and yearning to be understood by someone else
    I took love so seriously, even though I was just a kid
    nobody set out to hurt me, it just wound up that a few girls did
    but keep in mind you came in alone, and you’ll go out alone
    you can’t hold people to your plans, or measure yourself by their standards
    it gets easier and less to say, leaving lovers and friends
    the same thing that fills your heart today may break it in the end
    so lonesome sometimes, feeling beat-up and looking like hell
    wonder where my lady is, wonder if she’d mind my smell now

    so lonesome sometimes, that old feeling echoes back a sweet reminder
    wonder where my lady is, wonder if I’ll ever find her
    so long, so long, so long solo…
