High Lonesome (The ’59 Sound Sessions)

[Verse 1] So the ambulances came They took your pulse and packed up your things And the papers read Some boys forget what the heartache brings And the pounding in the streets Was your heart in 4/4 time And the taste of defeat Was never too far from your mind [Chorus] Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside It seems like there ain't nobody out there sometimes It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside The years keep slipping seen the harder I try The years keep slipping seem like every night The years the years the years go by The years the years the years go by [Verse 2] So gravity came Stole the temple that the schoolboys praised And the crowd shuffled in You're getting drinks for the same boys who once bought you everything And the powder on the bar was just this one time The powder on the bar Was just this one night And just to get by [Chorus] Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside The years keep slipping seen the harder I try The years keep slipping seem like every night The years the years the years go by The years the years the years go by [Bridge] There was "Southern Accents" (Southern Accents) On the radio (on the radio) While I drove home "At night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet" It's a pretty good song, baby, you know the rest Baby, you know the rest [Chorus] Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside And the years keep slipping seem the harder I try The years keep slipping seem the harder I try The years the years the years go by The years the years the years go by
