Heart Of A Lonely Girl

27 days I've been out on the road
 I'm a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home
 There's a young bride waiting for me all alone
 Lord, how she misses me
 ♪
 I can see her sitting in her kitchen chair
 In her cotton dress with her long black hair
 But a woman ain't pretty if a man ain't there
 Like I can't afford to be
 It's a shame, it's a shame
 She won't be the one to blame
 Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 Is the heart of a lonely girl
 ♪
 Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound
 She's the hottest thing for miles around
 All them other boys in our hometown
 Got tricks hid up their sleeves
 Now it ain't her that I don't trust
 She's pretty and pure as diamond dust
 But lonesome is this lonesome girl
 She can't help for what she needs
 It's a shame, it's a shame
 She won't be the one to blame
 Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 Is the heart of a lonely girl
 The heart of a lonely girl
 The heart of a lonely girl
 It's the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 The heart of a lonely girl

 Daddy was a rambler just like me
 I guess the apple don't fall too far from the tree
 When I ask why Mama had to go that day
 Well he don't know and she won't say
 It's a shame, it's a shame
 She won't be the one to blame
 Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 Is the heart of a lonely girl
 Yeah, it's a shame, it's a shame
 She won't be the one to blame
 Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 Is the heart of a lonely girl
 Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
 Is the heart of a lonely girl
