Lonesome Old Town Songtext
von George Jones

(George Jones - George Riddle)

Well, here I stand on this high ground
Looking out over this great big town
Searching for love that didn′t treat me right
It's a lonesome old town tonight.

I′m passin' through I'm not here to stay
A friend he told me that she came this way
He said that he saw her by the neon lights
It′s a lonesome old town tonight.

--- Instrumental ---


I see people walkin′ and drivin' their cars
They′re too far away for me to see who they are
I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight
It′s a lonesome old town tonight.

Well, here I stand on this high ground
Looking for my baby but she can't be found
The stars are out and the moon is bright
It′s a lonesome old town tonight.

Well, here I stand on this high ground

The stars are out and the moon is bright
It′s a lonesome old town tonight.


It's a lonesome old town tonight...
