That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome Lyrics - Dave Dudley

The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone 

You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong 

You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn 

Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome 

With a heart of broken love has taught to cry 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome 

I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy 

You search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud 

You try to lose your heartache in the laughter of the crowd 

But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been 

Then you'll have to fight the teardrops 'till you're by yourself again 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome 

With a heart of broken love has taught to cry 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome 

I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
