High Lonesome (The '59 Sound Sessions)

[Verse 1]

So the ambulances came

They took your pulse and packed up your things

And the papers read

Some boys forget what the heartache brings

And the pounding in the streets

Was your heart in 4/4 time

And the taste of defeat

Was never too far from your mind

[Chorus]

Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

It seems like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

The years keep slipping seen the harder I try

The years keep slipping seem like every night

The years the years the years go by

The years the years the years go by

[Verse 2]

So gravity came

Stole the temple that the schoolboys praised

And the crowd shuffled in

You're getting drinks for the same boys who once bought you everything

And the powder on the bar was just this one time

The powder on the bar

Was just this one night

And just to get by

[Chorus]

Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

The years keep slipping seen the harder I try

The years keep slipping seem like every night

The years the years the years go by

The years the years the years go by

[Bridge]

There was "Southern Accents" (Southern Accents)

On the radio (on the radio)

While I drove home

"At night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet"

It's a pretty good song, baby, you know the rest

Baby, you know the rest

[Chorus]

Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes

It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside

And the years keep slipping seem the harder I try

The years keep slipping seem the harder I try

The years the years the years go by

The years the years the years go by
