The Lonesome Lonestar Blues (122)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

I've been on the road too long ...
Smoke-filled dance halls and too much booze.
I'd rather be in Austin;
'Got those lonesome Lonestar blues.

I've been all around the world,
Runnin' hard and partyin' some.
From time to time I miss home ...
Yeah, Austin, that's where I'm from.

Austin, my dear old Austin ...
'Gotta get back home pretty soon.
Longhorn cattle, Lonestar pride,
Wide Texas sky, big round moon.

Lonesome Ain't So Bad (Not When You've Got Lonesome Friends) (110)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

I'm gettin' accustomed
To feelin' lonesome.
I'm gettin' used to
A life all alone.

It ain't been so easy
Ever since she left,
But I'm gettin' by,
No longer feel adrift.

Lonesome ain't so bad,
For, my friend, you see,
There's lots of lonesome folks
To keep you company.

My friends are lonesome,
Many have told me so.
Failed relationships,
Some feelin' pretty low.

Lonesome ain't so lonesome
When you've got lonesome friends.
Lonesome ain't so bad;
It really just depends.

Nope, lonesome ain't so bad
For, my friend, you see,
There's lots of lonesome folks
To keep you company.

Lonesome ain't so bad,
No no no, no it ain't.
Lonesome ain't really so bad,
No no no, it sure ain't.
