Lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends

I'm feeling lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends
Since you let me go I've been out-moaning the wind
I've got this feeling deep inside of me I'll never hope to defend
Feeling lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends

Sleep is mostly accidental, mostly just a real slow blink
I've got a faucet dripping all night long in a thought filled sink
I feel like I'm walking in boots with only one heel
I seem to keep my balance but I come up short in the deal

It's got me feeling lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends
Since you let me go I've been out-moaning the wind
I've got this feeling deep inside of me I'll never hope to defend
Feeling lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends

I feel like some broke down cowboy's rope
Worn and frayed and so betrayed
Left hanging on a post

I'm feeling lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends
Since you let me go I've been out-moaning the wind
There's no single word in English to describe my lament
So I'm lank & lonesome & low & loose at both ends
