'til All The Lonely's Gone

Well hank made a living out of lonely

He sang like a freight train whistle moan

Said "you'll never get out of this world alive"

As if he'd always known, lord, lord

As if he'd always known

Rode down that hillbilly highway

Took a big black cadillac on home

And he said "driver keep on driving

'til all the lonely's gone"

'til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely

'til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone

Let's just hold on to each other

'til all the lonely's gone

I told my mama, "dear sweet mama,

I'm tired and weary to the bone

Just let me walk along your flowers"

Makes me wonder why i roam, lord, lord

Makes me wonder why i roam

Feed me biscuits and milk gravy

'til your baby's feeling strong

We'll sit up picking on the front porch, yeah

'til all the lonely's gone

'til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely

'til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone

Let's just hold on to each other

'til all the lonely's gone

Well now jesus was praying in the garden

He never felt so all alone

They knew his suffering was over

When they rolled away the stone, lord, lord

When they rolled away the stone

On golden stairs he walked to heaven

And there he's waiting on the throne

He loves to hear his children sing and shout

'til all the lonely's gone

'til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely

'til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone

Let's just hold on to each other

'til all the lonely's gone
