Lonely Feeling

Intro: In a long stretch of highway at midnight in New Mexico It's a small colored light that shines from your car radio It's the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot And gives you the very last hit from her pot It's a lonely feelin' it's what you've got It's a lonely feelin' like it or not It's a crack in the sidewalk right next to the pay telephone It's someone's recorder when you're hoping that someone is home It's an hour to kill to do what you please But nobody's up for just shootin' the breeze It's a lonely feelin' it's like a disease It's a lonely feelin' you pray that it leaves Solo It's your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well Yea you try to break through but you've run out of stories to tell So you bid him goodbye and you step into space So many questions that you cannot face It's a lonely feelin' taking his place It's a lonely feelin' that you just can't erase Well it's three men from Chile who are tired and want to go home They've run out of money and they're stuck up in east Oregon So you give 'em the small bit of change in your hand You try to speak Spanish but they don't understand It's a lonely feelin' that gets to a man It's a lonely feelin' that runs through the land. Guitar solo 6x's Well it's a statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside But you're growing religious the older you get You haven't been saved but it could happen yet It's a lonely feelin' full of regret It's a lonely feelin' won't let you forget yea it's a bus stop, an street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum It's fright and rejected, neglected and blind, deaf and dumb But you look in the mirror and you're still hangin' in It's there to remind you how lucky you've been It's a lonely feelin' now and again It's lonely feelin' that comes from within......
