By townes van zandt I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune Ah, babe, i'm a-commin' soon I cannot believe i stayed so long away But a man must look around And you're the sweetest thing i've found Your lost high roller's rollin' home today My daddy said to me "son, it's hard as you will see To find someone upon whom to rely" In the kitchen mama sneezed And he grinned big as you please Said "bless you" and a tear come to his eye I did decide that very day That i would like to live that way And now i know i just been wastin' time It's eith you that i should be If you feel the same 'bout me I'm headed home along the straightest line
