| I’ve been sitting here alone in the darkness
|
| With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my head
|
| I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this
|
| I’m about as lonesome as it gets
|
| Just about as lonesome as it gets
|
| For a long time now, we’ve been drifting apart
|
| I should have been glad to see you go
|
| But now that it’s over and you’re on a silver jet
|
| It’s about as lonesome as it gets
|
| Just about as lonesome as it gets
|
| If it rained straight whiskey
|
| Forty days and nights
|
| It would’t be enough to numb this hurt I feel
|
| Or keep this lump that’s in my throat
|
| From chokin' me to death
|
| I’m about as lonesome as it gets
|
| Just about as lonesome as it gets
|
| When they dig a six foot hole in the ground
|
| And throw the dirt over me
|
| Just let these words mark my final place of rest
|
| This is as lonesome as it gets
|
| Damn sure as lonesome as it gets
|
| (repeat chorus) |
