It’s Lonely I Can’t Stand

I took the long way home tonight down a lonely road
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find

The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky
There to remind me what's missing tonight

Chorus:
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand

Staring out my window now at the world passing me by
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train

The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
They're to remind me what's missing tonight

(Chorus)
It's just another night on the one hand
On the other, it cuts like a knife

(Chorus)
