Ridley Bent - Lonesome Town lyrics

I was so shaken up I had to leave home* I drove all night with the radio on How did things get so bad How did things go so wrong? Everything I held dear Is a thousand miles away from here Desperate man plays a dangerous hand I slow down ‘cause I need a drink A lonely bar on a dead-end street No one but me and the bar keep I ask him where I am Lonesome town You're welcome if you're here to drown But if you've got some living to do There's the door son This town is full of lonesome This town is full of lonesome I throw down a couple pints A couple more and I stay the night Night turns to weeks and weeks to years Time flies when you're dying slow And I bury that barkeep up the road His time had come Yeah, he was old and so it goes Lonesome town You're welcome if you're here to drown But if you've got some living to do There's the door son This town is full of lonesome This town is full of lonesome I take to tending bar Chain-smoking and drinking hard Dim the lights because I like it dark And I stoke the fire Time flies when you're dying slow And a broken wing walks through the door She says “I think I'm lost I need a whiskey on the rocks.” Lonesome town You're welcome if you're here to drown But if you've got some living to do There's the door ma'am This town is full of lonesome This town is full of lonesome This town, this town, is full of lonesome
