Don't Tell Me You're Lonely
Six years old with a lifetime ahead
He stayed in the yard like his mama said
But a fenced gate couldn't stop the crime
If you could hear his mama crying
A hundred and one years old last June
She falls a lot can barely hold a spoon
The days are dark the nights are long
Soon she'll sing the Lord's reunion song
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
He was just sixteen when they sent him up
With the wrong crowd in his getaway truck
Now he paints alone in his cell
He lives the worst kind of hell
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
Take a look around and you'll see most of us have it easy
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
Don't tell me you're lonely
He stayed in the yard like his mama said
But a fenced gate couldn't stop the crime
If you could hear his mama crying
A hundred and one years old last June
She falls a lot can barely hold a spoon
The days are dark the nights are long
Soon she'll sing the Lord's reunion song
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
He was just sixteen when they sent him up
With the wrong crowd in his getaway truck
Now he paints alone in his cell
He lives the worst kind of hell
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
Take a look around and you'll see most of us have it easy
Don't tell me you're lonely if you have hands to hold
Don't tell me you're lonely when your loved one answers the phone
If you can see your children smiling don't tell me you're lonely
Don't tell me you're lonely
