Lonely

This old House is as empty as my heart
 There four walls are closin in on me
 And I don't know where to start
 Cause if the night that she left me
 All the miles in between
 Whatever it is Lord is Killin me
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
 Well I know that she missed me
 I can hear it in her voice
 Work call me away from home
 You know it never was my choice
 Guess she had all she could stand
 So she packed up and run
 Now the tables turn and all the pains on me
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
 Now her side of the bed is cold
 And all that I have left to hold
 Is a whiskey bottle and her memory
 Her make up and her clothes are gone
 This house ain't really a home
 All that left is pain and misery
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
 The flame in this old fire place is burnin' strong
 And my heart is feelin weak
 This picture that I'm holding is the only memory I can keep
 Well the trains left the tracks
 It ain't coming back
 And who's to blame the engineer is me
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
 Now her side of the bed is cold
 And all that I have left to hold
 Is a whiskey bottle and her memory
 Her make up and her clothes are gone
 This house ain't really a home
 All that left is pain and misery
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
 I guess lonely was a bad place to be
