I've been locked up but committed no crime I made this bed out of cold hard pine
What I would give for a shot of whiskey or wine
Then it would not be so hard to convince myself that I have been doing fine

Hey, I am so lonesome but I got an idea
How to put it all behind me and get the hell out of here
Find a wonderful place where I will never be alone
You can call all you want but there will be nobody home

Now I'm gonna put these wheels out in the breeze
So tired of living a life of misery
I will be flying high not feeling low if you ever find me
But I doubt you will have any idea where I will be

Hey, I am so lonesome but I got an idea
How to put it all behind me and get the hell out of here
Find a wonderful place where I will never be alone
You can call all you want but there will be nobody home

Dig a hole for the soul, place a flower in my hand
If you have to go in death, don't forget to pay that preacher man
Remember the times, remember the hurt
Remember your lies as you watch the dirt
Don't want a fancy store, what a simple cross will do
Don't ask for much at all, don't want a damn thing from you
The sadness inside you may cut like a knife
As you turn around and walk back into your life

Hey, I am so lonesome but I got an idea
How to put it all behind me and get the hell out of here
Find a wonderful place where I will never be alone
You can call all you want but there will be nobody home
