Duration: P00H04M49S
Description: i heard a bootleg and was envious of the singer's naturally lonesome tone. then i realized he was in a room by himself, for the duration of an entire album. no band. no friends. probably a bigger asshole than even me. maybe i should be content with my voice, because i don't think those cats with the lonesome tone are faking it.

about

i heard a bootleg and was envious of the singer's naturally lonesome tone. then i realized he was in a room by himself, for the duration of an entire album. no band. no friends. probably a bigger asshole than even me. maybe i should be content with my voice, because i don't think those cats with the lonesome tone are faking it.

lyrics

some people sing about murder
some people sing about land
some people sing mighty lonesome
but they sing it in front of a band
a band don't have to be many
though one is much less than a few
don't go lookin for lonesome
or lonesome come lookin for you

a heartache implies you've had lovers
which means you were not on your own
but whenever you stand in some hollar
you'll know what i mean by alone
you could scream if you want, but who'd wanna?
then again no one minds when you do
don't go lookin for lonesome
or lonesome come lookin for you

and I drink my wine from night till noon
then the sun does shine, come then the moon
and I'll fare just fine, till someday soon
I'll share what's mine and soften my tune

lonesome is an emotion
you feel it when you are alone
but loneliness ain't lonesome
lonesome hits closer to home
a rainy day can make you feel lonely
what about when skies are blue
don't go lookin for lonesome
or lonesome come lookin for you
i said
don't go lookin for lonesome
or lonesome come lookin for you
