Heart Of A Lonely Girl

[Verse 1] Twenty seven days i’ve been out on the road I’m a nervous wreck, i gotta get back home There’s a young bride waiting for me all alone Lord, how she misses me I can see her sitting in the kitchen chair In a cotton dress with her long black hair But a woman ain’t pretty if a man ain’t there That i can’t afford to be [Chorus] It’s a shame, it’s a shame She won’t be the one to blame Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world Is the heart of a lonely girl [Verse 2] Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound She’s the hottest thing for miles around All them other boys in our hometown Got tricks hid up their sleeves Now it ain’t her that i don’t trust She’s pretty and pure as diamond dust But lonesome is this lonesome girl She can’t help for what she needs [Chorus] It’s a shame, it’s a shame She won’t be the one to blame Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world Is the heart of a lonely girl The heart of a lonely girl The heart of a lonely girl It’s the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world The heart of a lonely girl [Verse 3] Daddy was a rambler just like me I guess the apple don’t fall too far from the tree When i ask why momma had to go that day Well he don’t know and she won’t say [Chorus] It’s a shame, it’s a shame She won’t be the one to blame Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world Is the heart of a lonely girl [Outro] Yeah, it’s a shame, it’s a shame She won’t be the one to blame Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world Is the heart of a lonely girl Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world Is the heart of a lonely girl
