The night just seems to drag on forever Waiting for that cleansing morning call Running from the mirror, So I don't see it any clearer As fireworks bright and loud, burn out and fall Wild and lonesome Wild and lonesome You're blowing through life son Like a Texas dust storm Wild and lonesome Like a child who wants someone to play with And keep him warm Bottle full of venom's used for drowning The ever-loving woman all my time Take another toe, keep on smiling, life's a joke Keep on going till I forget the things I've done Wild and lonesome Wild and lonesome You're blowing through life son Like a Texas dust storm Wild and lonesome Like a child who wants someone to play with To keep him warm When I finally see the line on the horizon She illuminates the sky before my eyes And before I get the chance to ask her for the dance The poison once again left me immobilized Wild and lonesome Highest ... You're blowing through life son Like a Texas dirt storm Wild and lonesome Like a child who wants someone to play with And keep him warm Someone to Wlay with, feed him And keep him warm
