My body was strong,
my mind came along
A journey that would
take me so far
From the life I had known
The seeds I'd sown
I jumped in my beat -up old car
But the road was so wide
There was nowhere to hide
I hid in my tears down there
The shadows at night
made that first morning light
Seem like a long lost friend
Coffee and a song,
and I would be gone
Hitchin' a ride with the wind
Dreams for my bed,
never thought I'd call those days
Lonesome way back when
Lonesome way back when, yeah
All of your songs were like friends
Treated each line like a child
Some stayed close to home
and others ran wild
And your body and your
soul were so tight
They were stolen by thieves in the night
So I ran like a fool, guarding my jewels
With so many friends by my side
But between you and me,
it's so hard to see
So many good dreams died
Cause I've seen all the hustle,
felt all of the muscle, baby,
when I was down on the scrime
Now I'm livin' in Vegas,
mak in' my wages,
my old lady sings in the lounge
Sometimes at night,
if the moon shines so bright
My Buick and I take a spin
And my mind drifts away,
the old bygone days
Lonesome way back when, of course
Lonesome way back when, yeah
And all of your songs were like rain
You treated each line like a child
Some stayed close to home
and others ran so wild
And your body and your
soul were so tight
They were stolen by thieves in the night
And your body and your soul felt so tight
They were stolen by thieves in the night
Thank you for watching.
