Lyrics
Lonesome Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And we call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town, where the broken hearts stay
(I'm) going down to Lonesome Town, to cry all troubles away
And in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
We can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
We can love to forget
