Jean Shepard
That's What It's Like to Be Lonesome
The streets are dark and emptyAnd you walk them all aloneYou think about your love affairAnd wonder what went wrongYou go to bed each nightAnd pray you'll never see the dawnAfraid of each tomorrowWith its heartless cold unknownAnd that's what it's like to be lonesomeWithout your love it's such an empty worldAnd that's what it's like to be lonesomeI know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girlYou search to find a tavernWhere the music's playing loudYou try to lose your heartacheIn the laughter of the crowdBut the happy couples make you think ofThings that might have beenAnd you have to fight the teardropsTill you're by yourself againAnd that's what it's like to be lonesomeWithout your love it's such an empty worldAnd that's what it's like to be lonesomeI know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
