Cornmeal - Lost Love lyrics

Lost Love words and music by Dave Burlingame Beware all you hustlers to what I say to you. Better quit the way you dog your girl, start walking straight and true. You better leave your friends behind and quit your drinkin too. For if you don't heed your woman, she'll walk right out on you. I came home from drinking one night at half pa**ed 4. I couldn't make the bedroom so I pa**ed out on the floor. When I awoke, a note I found on the kitchen door. "I told you not to come home late now I'm gone this time for sure". I went to see her mother, I went to see her pa. They told me that I was too late, she'd caught The Cannonball. They said she went to Birmingham to see her sister Lu. But that was 7 weeks ago now baby, where are you? Chorus Lost Love, oh where are you tonight? Come on back baby you know I'll treat you right. Lost Love oh where are you tonight? Believe me baby I know that you were right. People say you're gonna reap just what you sow. Well I found out the hard way that it's true. After all I'm just a man but i guess that ain't enough To keep a little honey-lamb like you. Now I dearly loved that woman but i didn't treat her right. I made her stay at home while I'd go drinking half the night. I took her love for granted an she walked right out on me. And left me here to contmplate in pain and misery. Chorus
