LONELY AVENUE

[Verse 1: Randy Newman]
Now my room has got two windows
But the sun never comes shinin’ through
You know it’s always dark
It’s dreary since I broke it off with you
I live on a lonely avenue
A lonely avenue
Girl wouldn’t say I do
So sad and blue

[Chorus 1: Jon Batiste, Randy Newman, Both]
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue

[Verse 2: Jon Batiste]
Now my covers feel like lead now
And my pillow feels like stone
Well, I’ve tossed and turned so every night
I’m not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl wouldn’t say I do
I feel so sad and blue
And it’s all because of you

[Chorus 2: Jon Batiste]
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue

[Vocal Break]

[Verse 3: Jon Batiste, Randy Newman]
Go head.. Randy
I’ve been so sad and lonesome
Since you left this town
If I could beg or borrow or steal the money
I would be highway bound
I live on the lonely avenue
Wouldn’t say I do
I live on a lonely avenue
I feel so sad and blue

[Chorus: Randy Newman, Jon Batiste,]
I could cry, I could cry I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
It sounds like I’m dying
Lonely avenue
I live on a
Lonely avenue
I live on a
Lonely avenue
I live on a
Lonely avenue
Lonely avenue, yea
Lonely avenue, yea
Lonely avenue, yea
Lonely avenue
