Sure Close To Lonely Tonight Lyrics

Sure Close To Lonely Tonight lyrics

I see life from the highway
I've made it my home
There's a certain kind of
freedom
In just being alone
Well I've turned my hands to most things
As
a working man must
But the dollar and the bottle
They're all I can
trust

Well they're ain't nothing like a sunset
Or walking in the
rain
Or waking up at first light
On the dusty desert plain
There are
towns I can't remember
And friends I can't recall
But this old heart and
me
We've drifted through them all

And most times I'm certain
It
suits me just right
But I'm sure close to lonely tonight

I'm sure
close to lonely tonight
And I'm too tired to put up a fight
And if this
feeling don't kill me
Well the whiskey just might
'Cause I'm sure close
to lonely tonight

Every man's got a weakness
Baby I've got two
See
one of them I'm drinking
And the other one is you
So pour another strong
one
And I'll drink it like a fool
'Cause you're looking like a princess
now
From this old bar stool

And it looks like you're certain
It
suits you just right
And I'm sure close to lonely tonight

Well I'm
sure close to lonely tonight
And I'm too tired to put up a fight
And if
this feeling don't kill me
Well the whiskey just might
'Cause I'm sure
close to lonely tonight

And I'm sure close to lonely tonight
