That's what it's like to be lonesome

Tears keep rolling down your cheek you your voice gets talk so you can't speak
Every day seems like a week and that's what it's like to be lonesome
You get too blue to stay at home but in a crowd you're still alone
You lose the will to carry on and that's what it's like to be lonesome
Everyone has a hope that's died everyone cries a tear inside
Everyone has a cross to bear but I've got no one in my share
Your mind is built with memories your heart cries out for sympathy
An empty blue eternity and that's what it's like to be lonesome
[ fiddle - steel ]
Everyone has a hope that's died...
