Lonely Feelin'
By Robert Earl Keen
capo 5th
It's a long strech of highway at midnight in New Mexico
G C G C
It's a small colored light that shines from you car radio
G C D
It's the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot
C G
And gives you the very last cup from his pot
C D
It's a Lonely Feelin', It's what you got
G C G C
It's a Lonely Feelin', like it or not
G C D G
It's a crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone
It's someone's recorder when your hopin' that someone is home
It's an hour to kill to do what you please
But nobody's up for just shootin' the breeze
It's a Lonely Feelin', It's like a disease
It's a Lonely Feelin', you pray that it leaves
It's three men from Chile who are tired and they want to go home
They've run out of money and they're stuck up in east Oregon
So you give em' the small bit of change in your hand
You try to speak Spanish, but they don't understand
It's a Lonely Feelin', that runs through the land
It's a Lonely Feelin', that gets to a man
It's you best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well
You try to break through but you've run out of stories to tell
So you bid him goodbye and you step into space
There are so many questions that you cannot face
It's a Lonely Feelin', taking his place
It's a Lonely Feelin', you just can't erase
Its a statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died
All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside
But you're growin' religious the older you get
You haven't been saved, but it could happen yet
It's a Lonely Feelin', full of regret
It's a Lonely Feelin', won't let you forget
It's a bus stop, a street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum
It's fright and rejected, neglected, blind, deaf and dumb
But you look in the mirror and you're still hanging in
It's there to remind you how lucky you've been
It's a Lonely Feelin', now and again
It's a Lonely Feelin', that comes now and then
