So lonely
I'm a lonely man
From Gainesville
(He ain't got nowhere to go)
Got nowhere to go
Said I don't want
Doin' wrong over this land
(Yes his blood is growin' cold)
Cold, gettin colder
Yeah, I believe that
All the people on the street
Take the time, time to stare
Not lonely in their eyes
For thinkin' that I'm nowhere
Lord, I wasn't born
Wasn't born to wander aimlessly
Lord it can't be
I don't want it to be my destiny
Lord, woman come an help me
Oh I wish that I could find me a turkey
(all he needs is good sweet love)
Yeah gotta go quack quack
Oh baby I would know in my heart I would be lucky
(That's the only way to go)
Yeah, be fine
Yeah, I wanna tell you that
All the people on that street
They take the time to stare
I can see in their eyes
For thinkin' that I'm nowhere
Lord, I wasn't born
Wasn't born to
Wander 'round aimlessly
Can't be, can't be
Don't want it to be my destiny
Lord,take ahold of me
Sure don't wanna be a lonely man
