Lonely Avenue

Ray Charles · King Of Soul-Classic Hits [2011]

Now my room has got two windows

But the sunshine never comes thru,

You know it's always dark and dreary

Since I broke off, baby, with you!



Chorus:

I live on a lonely avenue,

My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".

Well, I feel so sad and blue

And it's all because of you.



I could cry, I could cry, I could cry,

I could die, I could die, I could die,

Because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue.



(Now my) covers they feel like lead

And my pillow it feels like stone,

Well, I've tossed and turned so ev'ry night,

I'm not used to being alone!



Chorus:

I live on a lonely avenue,

My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".

Well, I feel so sad and blue

And it's all because of you.



Now I've been so sad and lonesome

Since you've left this town,

If I could beg or borrow the money, child,

I would be a highway bound!



Chorus:

I live on a lonely avenue,

My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".

Well, I feel so sad and blue

And it's all because of you...
