George Jones - Lonesome Old Town lyrics

(George Jones)

« © '63 Glad Music »

Well here I stand on this high ground

Looking out over this great big town

Searching for love that didn't treat me right

It's a lonesome old town tonight

I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay

A friend he told me that she came this way

He said that he saw her by the neon lights

It's a lonesome old town tonight

I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars

They're too far away for me to see who they are

I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight

It's a lonesome old town tonight

Well here I stand on this high ground

Looking for my baby but she can't be found

The stars are out and the moon is bright

It's a lonesome old town tonight

I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay...

Well here I stand on this high ground...

It's a lonesome old town tonight
