High Lonesome Blue

I'm coming home, needing attention

Breaking down, I need some rest

I'm like a man from the third dimension

This way of life put me to the testI used to be a drummer man

Kept it in the groove

Then I had a change of heart

Started singing the bluesThat's what I choose

Leaving me high lonesome blueTime moves on I'm riding with it

There's no choice, it's out of my hands

This is my way and I won't quit it

Fragile, like a rope of sandThere's a place high on a mountain

Where I go to find relief

Get my feet back on the ground

Set my spirit freePut on my walking shoes

Got the high lonesome blueThere's nothing left to prove

High lonesome blue
