High Lonesome

Once I bled into a letter, it didn't get any better
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Took a PBR vacation, played the college station
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Through the flower beds
You walk down to the park
Like ancient books of Zen
That symbolize a brand-new start

The way that I've been feelin' lately ain't me
It makes me wanna shout and bust it up in two
What they call honest livin' kills me, chills me

Once a music business lawyer tried to wine and dine, destroy you
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Cow skulls on your wall and your Valium mother calls
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Through your brand-new shades
You might not see the sharks
A brilliant masquerade
Can't disguise a busted heart

The way that I've been feelin' lately ain't me
It makes me wanna shout and bust it up for you
What they call honest livin' kills, me chills me

And photographs and memories, I know they don't lie
And I can't forget you, but I know I will try

I'm dropping out of circulation, gonna change my occupation
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Become a small time operator or another lonely painter
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Photographs and memories, I know they don't lie
And I can't forget you, but I know I will try
