Always Be Me

[Verse 1]

If lonesome was money I'd be set for life

I'd be swimmin in riches instead of tears I've cried

The blues would be worth a whole lot of green

You'd never hear one complaint from me

If lonesome was money I'd be set for life

[Verse 2]

If lonesome was a woman I'd never be alone

I'd always have someone here to love me and to hold

I'd leave misery's clutches and find love's embrace

This frown you see a smile would replace

If lonesome was a woman I'd never be alone

[Chorus]

How I'd like to change lonesome

To mean something happy and free

But I know that won't ever happen you see

Lonesome will always be me

Lonesome will always be me

[Verse 3]

If lonesome was a liquor I could run a still

Bottle up my tears and let the folks drink their fill

It'd be happy hour all the time seven days a week

And laughter's all you'd ever hear from me

If lonesome was a liquor I could run a still

[Chorus]

How I'd like to change lonesome

To mean something happy and free

But I know that won't ever happen you see

Lonesome will always be me

Lonesome will always be me

[Chorus]

How I'd like to change lonesome

To mean something happy and free

But I know that won't ever happen you see

Lonesome will always be me

Lonesome will always be me
