Lonesome Man (Edgar-Kneeland) Emus Way Music / BMI ©2003

 

Was I born to be a lonesome man

I tried just about everything I can

Except stay in all night and hold my baby close and tight

Was I born to be a lonesome man

 

She told me today she just can’t wait

This last time a little and too late

One too many nights alone, separated on my own

Can’t live your style anymore

Can’t be with a lonesome man

 

Two hundred miles I tread beneath my feet

It’s not as far as my heart feels from thee

Only the road hears me cry as I stand and watch our love die

I finally realized the choice was mine

To be a lonesome man

 

By the babbling river I lay my weary head

Rest my bones before its time I fled

The hardest thing that I ever done is to choose between my passion and my love

I hope you forgive my restless way

I’m bound to be a lonesome man

 

Well I went back to the place from where I came

Found my lady one more time again

Only to find a note taped to the wall, says I hope you find your weight in gold

No distractions for me anymore

Don’t die with the heart of a lonesome man

 

Was I born to be a lonesome man

I tried just about everything I can

Except stay in all night and hold my baby close and tight

Was I born to be a lonesome man

 

I hope I don’t die with the heart of a lonesome man
