The Loneliest I've Ever Been

I've driven 10 straight hours in the middle of the night
Me and the AM radio, and not a soul in sight
Everyone I know is begging me to change my ways

Spent all me money getting high in a motel room
So I climbed the mountain top and howled at the moon
And I'd do it all again instead of being stuck with you

Because the loneliest that I've ever been
The loneliest I've ever been
Is trying to love someone that just won't listen

My woman left me for my best friend
Living in a commune in Oregon
I took my beater down to live by the river for a month or two

Headed down to a flop house in New Orleans
Didn't have any company
Except for the rats and the bullet holes where the light shined through

But the loneliest that I've ever been
The loneliest I've ever been
Is trying to love someone that just won't listen

Sometimes I wonder why I ever talk at all
I might be better understood just talking to the walls

I couldn't find a job I was qualified to do
No one to call for reference
I know how it feels when the truth doesn't favor your preference

I finally broke down and put my my knees on the ground
Begged the Lord above for answers out loud
And the only sound I could hear was the howlin' wind

But the loneliest that I've ever been
The loneliest I've ever been
Is trying to love someone that just won't listen

Baby, I just can't keep trying
It don't matter to you if I'm telling the truth or lying

Lonely
Trying to love someone that just won't listen
