Lonesome Old Town

(George Jones - George Riddle)



Well, here I stand on this high ground

Looking out over this great big town

Searching for love that didn't treat me right

It's a lonesome old town tonight.



I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay

A friend he told me that she came this way

He said that he saw her by the neon lights

It's a lonesome old town tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars

They're too far away for me to see who they are

I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight

It's a lonesome old town tonight.



Well, here I stand on this high ground

Looking for my baby but she can't be found

The stars are out and the moon is bright

It's a lonesome old town tonight.
