Grab a taco down the block
French fries and a soda pop
Who cares if the air is slightly brown
Walk back to the flat I'm in
Turn the TV up again
On the news, the same old drag me down
So low, locked in lonesome town
Listen to the highway bucking
Shaking me with every truck
Distant cry lonesome siren sounds
I lost a lot in losing you
Think it's more than I can do
It can't a-be so easy going down
Cheers, good luck in lonesome town
Together we made plans
Till he came back
Then away you ran
With no good-bye
Hello lonesome town
[Instrumental Bridge]
My only friend says come back home
A thousand miles by telephone
I've been on the roads so seldom found
Cause if I stay
I'm sure to find
One more love to lose my mind
The game you played was hard
So hand me down
Jokers wild in lonesome town
I've got a feeling
Standing in my shoes
Same old fortune cookie
Born to lose
Together we made plans
Till he came back
Then away you ran
With no good-bye
Hello lonesome town
