Born Lonesome Lyrics - Singles - Cadillac Sky

The wind blew cold on that mountain 

On the night that I was made 

Pale moonlight poured on that cabin 

As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade 

When that fire burned down to ashes 

Daddy stared out the window pane 

Momma knew without askin' 

Her travelin' man had no plans to stay 

And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins 

I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train 

Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away 

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved 

Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken" 

I was born lonesome 

So girl try to forgive me 

If your goodbye don't send tears down my face 

Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me 

I'll wake up feeling empty either way 

I'm at the mercy of my DNA 

I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train 

Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away 

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved 

Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken" 

I was born lonesome 

Came out cryin', like an old freight train 

Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away 

Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved" 

See girl, you can't break a heart already broken 

I was born lonesome 

No girl, you can't break a heart already broken 

I was born lonesome
