High Lonesome Blue

I'm coming home, needing attention

Breaking down, I need some rest

I'm like a man from the third dimension

This way of life put me to the test



I used to be a drummer man

Kept it in the groove

Then I had a change of heart

Started singing the blues



That's what I choose

Leaving me high lonesome blue



Time moves on I'm riding with it

There's no choice, it's out of my hands

This is my way and I won't quit it

Fragile, like a rope of sand



There's a place high on a mountain

Where I go to find relief

Get my feet back on the ground

Set my spirit free



Put on my walking shoes

Got the high lonesome blue



There's nothing left to prove

High lonesome blue
