Born Lonesome Lyrics

Born Lonesome lyrics

The wind blew cold on that mountain

On the night that I was made

Pale moonlight poured on that cabin

As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade



When that fire burned down to ashes

Daddy stared out the window pane

Momma knew without askin'

Her travelin' man had no plans to stay

And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins



I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train

Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved

Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"

I was born lonesome



So girl try to forgive me

If your goodbye don't send tears down my face

Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me

I'll wake up feeling empty either way

I'm at the mercy of my DNA



I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train

Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved

Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"

I was born lonesome



Came out cryin', like an old freight train

Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved"

See girl, you can't break a heart already broken

I was born lonesome



No girl, you can't break a heart already broken

I was born lonesome
