Lonesome by Dr. Dog

Dr. DogAbout
The band explained to Guitar Center that this song is meant to celebrate being alone, in contrast to most songs which see being lonesome as a bad thing.
All the songs about being lonesome are sort of like these “woe is me, I’m so sad.” This song is sort of about embracing being lonesome.
Lonesome Lyrics
[Chorus]
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all.. all.. all..
[Verse 1]
My thoughts are wicked and rotten
My goat don't wanna be gotten
And I had my fill of the whippoorwill
When he broke into song I shot him
Leave me alone
[Chorus]
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all.. all.. all..
[Verse 2]
Well the train is loaded and leaving
And the Lord only knows I don't need it
And I snub my nose when the whistle blows
But it's never enough to get even
Get out of here and leave me alone
Get out of here and leave me alone
The moon can do what he pleases
He can cry so much that he sneezes
And if a falling star falls in my yard
Well I'll pick up the pieces
Get out of here
[Chorus]
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all.. all.. all..
Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all..
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all..
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothing at all.. all.. all..
