Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness Lyrics - Live - John Prine

You come home late and you come home early 

You come on big when you're feeling small 

You come home straight and you come home curly 

Sometimes you don't come home at all 

Chorus: 

So what in the world's come over you 

And what in heaven's name have you done 

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 

You're out there running just to be on the run

Well I got a heart that burns with a fever 

And I got a worried and a jealous mind 

How can a love that'll last forever 

Get left so far behind 

Repeat Chorus: 

It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow 

It's crossed the evil line today 

Well, how can you ask about tomorrow 

We ain't got one word to say 

Repeat Chorus:

Ending: 

You're out there running just to be on the run 

You're out there running just to be on the run 

You're out there running just to be on the run
