LONELY MOUNTAIN MOON
©1987
Lyrics By: Toddy (BMI)

On a lonely side road, looking at the midnight sky,
My spirit broke along with my old car.
I left you in a hurry so you wouldn’t hear me cry,
For a love that was beat up as my worn-out guitar.

Chorus:

I’m gonna catch the first ride to anywhere.
Like a drifter, I’ll move on again real soon.
I’ll drop you a line to let you know that I still care,
From a cowboy crying under the lonely mountain moon.

Sittin’ on my suitcase, I feel so defeated,
I can barely lift my hand to thumb a ride.
Given half a chance, I think I would have pleaded,
Even sold my soul to keep you by my side.

Bridge:

Lord, I wish that moon would hide!

Chorus:

I’m gonna catch the first ride to anywhere.
Like a drifter, I’ll move on again real soon.
I’ll drop you a line to let you know that I still care,
From a cowboy cryin’ under the lonely mountain moon.

Fade out…
