Born Lonesome

The wind blew cold on that mountain
 On the night that I was made
 Pale moonlight poured on that cabin
 As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade
 When that fire burned down to ashes
 Daddy stared out the window pane
 Momma knew without askin'
 Her travelin' man had no plans to stay
 And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins
 I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
 Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
 Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
 Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
 I was born lonesome
 So girl try to forgive me
 If your goodbye don't send tears down my face
 Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me
 I'll wake up feeling empty either way
 I'm at the mercy of my DNA
 I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
 Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
 Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
 Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
 I was born lonesome
 Came out cryin', like an old freight train
 Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away
 Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved"
 See girl, you can't break a heart already broken
 I was born lonesome
 No girl, you can't break a heart already broken
 I was born lonesome
