As Lonesome As It Gets Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

(Larry E. Corole/J.P. Pennington) 

I've been sittin' here alone in the darkness 

With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my head 

I don't know how much longer I can go on like this 

I'm about as lonesome as it gets 

Just about as lonesome as it gets 

For a long time now we've been driftin' apart 

I should have been glad to see you go 

But now that it's over and you're on a silver jet 

I'm about as lonesome as it gets 

Just about as lonesome as it gets 

If it rained straight whiskey forty days and nights 

Wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel 

Or keep this lump that's in my throat 

From chokin' me to death 

I'm about as lonesome as it gets 

Just about as lonesome as it gets 

When they dig a six foot hole in the ground 

And throw the dirt over me 

Just let these words mark my final place of rest 

This is as lonesome as it gets 

Damn sure as lonesome as it gets 

If it rained straight whiskey forty days and nights 

Wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel 

Or keep this lump that's in my throat 

From chokin' me to death 

I'm about as lonesome as it gets 

Just about as lonesome as it gets 

I'm about as lonesome as it gets 

Just about as lonesome as it gets
