A Little Lonesome

Like the feeling when the fire’s gone
Or a shrimp boat sailing out before the dawn
The whining hum of the highway song
Just a little lonesome comin’ on

Like the silence when the record stops
Or the regret when it’s all your fault
That empty hole when your friends leave town
Just a little lonesome coming around

Chorus

There’s a little bit of lonesome in my heart
Just a little lonesome when we part
A little bit of lonesome now and then
Just a little lonesome, comin’ ‘round again

When the wind blows through the pines
When the freezing rain pins you inside
Restless thoughts of those white lines
Just a little lonesome in my mind

When your true love is far away
When you can’t find the right words to say
How you feel every some odd days
When you must leave but badly want to stay
