Lyrics

Lonely Man
Nothing as lonely as a lonely man
And only his woman can
Heal the heart of a lonely man.
He’ll pound the whiskey and the walls,
Call his mama who he never calls,
Crank the car and hit the gas,
Take the curves just a little fast.
It’s an engine burning pain
Driving him insane
To anywhere but here,
To anyplace to hide the tears of a
Lonely man.

Nothing as lonely as a lonely man
And only his woman can
Heal the heart of a lonely man.
When he walks in, play it cool
’cause he feels like such a fool.
He’s not looking for a fight
But he might welcome one tonight.
Act as everything’s O.K.
But don’t dare mention her name
‘cause there is nothing worse
Than to add to the hurt of a
Lonely man.

Nothing is as lonely as a lonely man
And only his woman can
Heal the heart of a lonely man.
Someday he may love again
But God only knows when,
When she’ll come sneaking up
And lay a little love
On a lonely man.
