Lonely as fuck
Homesick and sober
If this is luck
Wish the run would be over
I miss my wife
My city, my home
The crowds are cheering
For the nervous and alone
Stopped in a church
But got scared by priest
Hit the sex shops
Still no relief
Nothing is funny
Don't explain the joke
It's all quite easy
I'm just lonely as fuck
Lonely as fuck
White knuckling my guitar
The universe is cold
When you try to be a star
Lonely as fuck
My name sounds strange
Are these my hands
I feel rearranged
Lonely as fuck
And the bottles start to talk
Lonely as fuck
Like learning how to walk
Lonely as fuck
And the phone feels like a knife
Lonely as fuck
And I worked hard for this lonesome life
I heard Hank’s Birds
Serenade the purple night
Read Poe’s laments
As the raven took flight
Felt Casper’s pain
When he couldn’t get a fright
And sat with Gatsby
Staring at that distant light
Lonely as fuck
Like Pete Best in sixty three
Lonely as fuck
Like Cathy’s Everly
Lonely as fuck
Like a fading memory
Lonely as fuck
Like this haunted melody
