So Doggone Lonsome Songtext
von Johnny Cash

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin′
I try to make believe there's nothin′ wrong
But they're always askin' me about you darlin′
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 darlin' when′s she comin′ 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
Well I make it pretty good until that moon comes shinin′ through
And that 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
Sixty minutes more to wait for you

But I guess I′ll keep waitin' till you're with me
′Cause I believe that lovin′ 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
