That’s What It’s Like to Be Lonesome Lyrics

That′s what it's like to be lonesome
I know ′cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
The streets are dark and empty
And you walk them all alone
You think about your love affair
And wonder what went wrong
You go to bed each night and pray
You'll never see the dawn
Afraid of each tomorrow
With its heartless cold unknown

And that′s what it′s like to be lonesome
A heart a broken love has taught to cry
And that's what it′s like to be lonesome
I know 'cause I′m a mighty lonesome guy

You search to find a tavern
Where the music's playin′ loud
You try to lose your heartache
In the laughter of the crowd
But the happy couples make you think
Of things that might have been
And you have to fight the teardrops
Till you're by yourself again

And that's what it′s like to be lonesome
A heart a broken love has taught to cry
And that′s what it's like to be lonesome
I know ′cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy...
