Lonesome Goodbye

The Steeldrivers · Other Songs - The Steeldrivers

I can't fool myself to sleep

So I go out and walk these streets each night

Over and over

I guess these streets don't suit my shoes

Won't help me walk away these blues, I've tried

It sure been a lonesome goodbye



Little pictures of the past

Things I thought would never last flash by

Over and over

I turned my collar to the cold

Cause I can't stand to be alone, I've tried

It sure been a lonesome goodbye



I could stay this way forever

Never swallow any pride

Pretend I'm doin' better

Than the way I feel inside

Like I'm livin' a lie



I could stay this way forever

Never swallow any pride

Pretend I'm doin' better

Than the way I feel inside



But I can't fool myself to sleep

So I go out and walk these streets each night

Over and over

And here I stand in front of you

I guess you been out walking too

Don't cry

It sure been a lonesome goodbye

Yeah it sure been a lonesome goodbye

Girl it sure was a lonesome goodbye
