As I pulled in the drive late last evening All my things were scattered on the ground It was clearer than the air right off the ocean I was headed for the 'lonesome side of town' All my neighbours know the feeling We all share a little common ground There's a women's wrath to blame, Our stories all the same Here living on the Lonesome side of town
By the time I got to work on Monday Word from the top had just come down We're locking all the doors tomorrow morning We'll see you on the 'lonesome side of town' Tonight we're having a block party Where all the broken hearted gather round We'll talk about how soon we'll all be movin' Away from the 'lonesome side of town'
