High Lonesome

Once I bled into a letter
It didn't get any better
Oh, oh
Take a PBR vacation
Play the college station
Oh, oh

Through the flower beds
We walk down to the park
Like ancient books of Zen
Symbolize a brand new start

The way that I've been feeling lately
Ain't me
It makes me wanna shout and bust it up in two
What they call honest living kills me
Chills me

Once a music business lawyer
Tried to whine and dine destroy you
Oh, oh
Cow's holes on your wall
And your Valium other calls
Oh, oh

Through your brand new shades
You might not see the sharks
A brilliant masquerade
Can't disguise a busted heart

The way that I've been feeling lately
Ain't me
It makes me wanna shout and bust it up for you
What they call honest living kills me
Chills me

Photographs and memories
I know they don't lie
I can't forget you
Though I know I will try

I'm dropping out of circulation
Gonna change my occupation
Oh, oh
Become a small-time operator
Or another lonely painter
Oh, oh

Photographs and memories
I know they don't lie
I can't forget you
Though I know I will try
