Last night you rang my telephone
You say your lover left and now you're all alone
You don't know what to do
You're not experienced in this sort of blue
Honey you called the right guy
If you're looking for advice
On how to navigate a lonely night
Cause honey, I've had my heart broke
And baby, I've been blue
And I've picked up a couple tricks
I'll pass along to you
I can't bring your lover back
And I can't be your man
But I can give you lessons in lonely
Just let your feet pace back and forth
That's a move that we call walking the floor
And if the hurt's too much to bear
No one around doesn't mean that you can't share
We got weeping willows, whippoorwills
And walls to lend an ear
Anytime it gets too lonesome in here
Cause honey, I've had my heart broke
And baby, I've been blue
And I've picked up a couple tricks
I'll pass along to you
I can't bring your lover back
And I can't be your man
But I can give you lessons in lonely
If you can't stop those bitter tears
Stroll down to your local bar
And have a couple beers
And if you speak the language
Of the fiddle and the steel
There's a jukebox full of records there
That know just how you feel
Cause honey, I've had my heart broke
And baby, I've been blue
And I've picked up a couple tricks
I'll pass along to you
I can't bring your lover back
And I can't be your man
But I can give you lessons in lonely
