I just need to be lonely for awhile
Take the time to dig down deep and find an honest smile
I don’t wanna try to pretend I’m ready to love again
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

[Instrumental]

Friends keep settin’ me up with friends, but another friend
Ain’t what I need right now
I need to start lookin’ back inside, and try to find the pride
I lost when you walked out
I gotta learn to love myself before I can love anyone else

I just need to be lonely for awhile
Take the time to dig down deep and find an honest smile
I don’t wanna try to pretend I’m ready to love again
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

I just need a little time to cry and find a way to say goodbye
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile
Lonely for awhile

D A G (repeat and fade)

(Solo)

And I can find the rain
When I come in out of the pain
I can find the time to lose my mind
But I can’t find the words that told her goodbye
I found new ways to cry
I found the future that I left behind
I’ve seen the light but I must be blind
Cause I can’t find the words

SOLO

King of broken hearts knight in shinning armour
I can ill afford ‘
You could never charm her
Say I love you but that won’t do
Unless the words are true
She don’t believe in fairy tales
She don’t believe in fairy tales

INTRO: D G D G D A G D

Used to think in circles, it all tangled up inside
One day I finally came unwound
I jumped off the deep end to get a bird’s eye point of view
And it’s a long way down

CHORUS:
It’s a long.….….…
It’s a long way down
It’s a long.….….…
It’s a long way down

If you ever get confused, you don’t know where to turn
Go check with the lost and found
And you’ll find yourself at the end of your own road
And it’s a long way down

CHORUS

SOLO

These days I’m flyin’ high, I’m walkin’ on the wind
I never let my feet touch the ground
I just turn off the evenin’ news so I don’t lose my faith
‘Cause it’s a long way down

CHORUS

It’s a long.….….…
It’s a long way down

Tonight you just might hit the jackpot
But you know that’s not why you came
It’s ten to one you’ll mind up losing
Even if you find an honest game
Your eyes are drifting across the dance floor
Attracted by a pretty face
You ask yourself am I’m this loyal
Or just addicted to the chase
It’s the same old same old same old same old thing
That old wheel keeps spinning round
It’s the same old same old heart break game
Your lucky number number might come round
It’s the only game in town
You said it hurts so much the last time
You’d never bet your heart again
When love shows up on your doorstep
What can you do but let it in
As she sits down at your table
There’s no need for words you understand
Your gamblers heart is beating faster
As she gently takes your hand
It’s the same old same old same old same old thing
That old wheel keeps spinning round
It’s the same old same old heart break game
Your lucky number number might come round
It’s the only game in town
It’s the same old same old same old same old thing
That old wheel keeps spinning round
It’s the same old same old heart break game
Your lucky number number might come round
It’s the only game in town

CAPO I

INTRO: G

Where did all my friends go
What happened to my scene
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
Up and left the king
And I’ve been swimmin’ for redemption
But I’m drownin’ in beaurocracy
And I can’t find exemption

CHORUS:
The whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and it’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade awayyy-ayyyy-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away

Gonna fade awayyyy-yeah-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away, oh now I

I don’t mean to bh and judge
But baby I gotta go
Where they still play Merle Haggard
And the girls love to rock ‘n roll
And I been lookin’ for perspective
Between the highway signs
But all roads lead to Texas
Ya’ll look me up sometime, ‘cause

CHORUS:
The whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and there’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade away
Gone fade away-ayy-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away

SOLO

CHORUS:
Yeah the whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and it’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade away

I wouldn’t last a day
The night doesn’t feel so long
The roads seems to go somewhere
The world is a better place
Just knowing your there knowing your there
I never knew what love could do
I’ve gotten use to walkin thru life all alone
It’s the kind of change that comes on slow
It’s in your soul so deep that you can’t let it go
You open up your eyes one day

And the clouds are rolled away
The night doesn’t feel so long
The roads seems to go somewhere
The world is a better place
Just knowing your there knowing your there
All I can give you is a promise to be faithful
That isn’t half enought of what you’ve given me
The night doesn’t feel so long
The road seems to go somewhere
The world is a better place
Just knowing your there knowing your there
