Long lonesome day

Standing on the roadside, head held in my hands
Rain falls hard on the ground 'round where I stand
Headlights shinin' about half a mile away
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day

Cars on the highway, they're dark against the sky
And they're never going my way, they only pass me by
Tomorrow's such a long time to go from yesterday
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day

Waitin' on a hillside, here I am again
I'd love to catch a ride, stick my thumb out in the wind
Shouldn't look behind me, 'cause it don't ever pay
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day
