Stanley Brothers - A Lonesome Night lyrics

Lift me up, cause it hurts

Because I'm dying

Tell our love, no more can I go

Cause I don't want to be here

Lift me up

I don't want to be here

[MF Grimm:]

Sometime life on this planet makes me blue

I don't know who to trust no more, only trusted you

People run to me for answers, I used to run to you

Man I can't lie, I don't know what the fuck to do because

My body's in pain, inside I cry

And my soul is so tired I just want to lay down a die

When it come to intelligence you had everything I lacked

I go to your grave, I lay in the dirt and try to bring you back

Royalty, I remember we had everything

It feels like only yesterday when we were kings

The world is out of order, apocalypse is almost done

The wolves gone crazy, howling now when they see the sun

Live and die by the gun, that is how

We came up, we went down, look at us now

Hit the canvas, the crowd roars, the referee want us to lose

Count to ten, not by ones because he count by twos

When we were kids, we didn't hesitate to bust

Our guns, these young ones today man they worse than us

The anger they have, we don't hold a card to them

So I share all my mistakes, I try to talk to them

Is it our fault they watched us and they mastered it?

Is it too late to teach the babies how to channel it?

Cause the world cheered us on, as we gave our all

But turned around and they laughed at us,

They laughed when they watched us fall

I love my woman dearly, I try to stay strong for her

She deserve better than me, I feel like I'm wrong for her

Cause these murders are weighing me down, I got blood on my hands

And I'm rubbing my eyes, my sight is compromised

All I see is red and not the prize no more

All my people are dead and that's the price for war

Bullets are in my head, brains left on the floor

My heart hurts from beating and my chest is sore

Life didn't mean shit, death was irrelevant

War was just a game to us, excuse us for our arrogance

Penetrate, and hit my nerves

I'm slightly light headed, with a heavy heart I scribe these words

The devil in me, premeditate and cover bases

But there's no clean getaways, we're just angels with dirty faces

Stay medicated, but placebos are just sugar pills

Will my story end like Romelo did at Sugar Hill?

Will it end like Romelo?

will it?

Will it?

Royalty, I remember we had everything

It feels like only yesterday when we were kings

Those things are gone
