So Doggone Lonesome (2017 Remaster) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin′
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
But they′re always asking me about you, darling
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone

If they ask me I guess, I′d be denyin′
That I've been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart, they′d hear it cryin'
Where′s my darling, when's she coming home?

I ask myself a million times what′s right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through
And then, I get so doggone lonesome


Time stands still when you're a waitin'
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin′ too
One lonely hour seems forever
60 minutes more to wait for you

But I guess I′ll keep waitin' till you′re with me
'Cause I believe that loving you is right
But I don′t care if the sun don't rise tomorrow
If I can′t have you with me tonight

Well, I know I'll keep on loving you
'Cause true love can′t be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind, but I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others, but I know I′d love you still
'Cause I get so doggone lonesome
