Lonesome For a Livin'

You might say the reason

I was put on this earth

Was to pour out my heart every day

It's just what comes natural

Like takin' a breath

I could sing what I never could say

I put quite a few tears into quite a few beers

Yes, I've worn my soul on my sleeve

Laid out there for the whole world to see

Yeah, the blues have been

My old boss man

And lovesick, it knows me by name

You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

And heartache is my claim to fame

I lived all the lyrics

For better or for worse

The drinkin', the cheatin', and the lyin'

Well I guess I walked it

Just how I talked it

Both eyes wide open but stone blind

I wonder how many angels

Are waitin' for me?

To finally fall down on my knees

And then put me back up on my feet

Lord, the blues have been

My old boss man

And lovesick, it knows me by name

You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

And heartache is my claim to fame

I miss them old friends of mine

That left me behind

Seems like so many gone home

Yeah, but I still sing with 'em

And I sure won't forget 'em

I live the life of an old country song

Lord, the blues have been

My old boss man

And lovesick, it knows me by name

You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

And heartache is my claim to fame

Oh, and heartache is my claim to fame
