Lank & Lonesome & Low & Loose at Both Ends

I'm feeling lank and lonesome and low and loose at both ends
Since you let me go I'm out-moanin' the wind
I've got this feeling deep inside of me I'll never hope to defend
Feeling lank and lonesome and low and 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 walkin' in boots with only one heel
Well I seem to keep my balance but I come up short in the deep

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

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

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