Bein' Lonely |
LyricsNo one ever lied about bein' lonelybut you try to hide all the feelings But if you hide you'll never let someone care It's not a crime bein' lonely From time to time that's just how you're feelin' Just don't think that there's no one there I reach this truckstop 'bout five o'clock you're always busy, no time to talk I keep hopin', keep comin' by every day one of these days I'm gonna make you smile take you outta here for a little while when I do these are the words I'll say (chorus) Better angels try to lift you up but an empty bed drags you down You hug your pillow so far away from home You took your chances on a different life nobody's fool, nobody's wife no more waitin' by the phone (chorus) Another evening, the place is slow You brought my coffee We said hello, kept on talkin' Until it was time to close I asked you if you had somewhere to be You shook your head and smiled at me We left that place bound for no one knows (chorus) |
