Lonely Feelin'

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
