Lowdown Lonely
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
I'm so lowdown lonely
For my hometown one and only
Been away from her too long
Gotta get off the road and back into her arms
She's where I want to be
And that's just making me
Lowdown lonely.
A distant glow says a town is up ahead
And the call of easy comfort's in the wind
But I won't slow down. I ain't got no reason to
'Cause it's just another town that she's not in.
Chorus:
I'm so lowdown lonely
Miss the love now she lays on me
When I'm feelin' like I do
So doggone empty worn-out blue
She's where I want to be
And that's just making me
Lowdown lonely.
I hear the rhythm of her heart next to mine
As the tires thump another mile away
A steel guitar is crying on the radio
And I know just how it feels to feel that way.
Chorus:
I'm so lowdown lonely
For my hometown one and only
Been away from her too long
Gotta get off the road and back into her arms
She's where I want to be
And that's just making me
Lowdown lonely...
