Lyric No lonesome tune

by Townes Van Zandt

I ain t gonna sing no lonesome tune
Ah, babe, I m a-commin soon
I cannot believe i stayed so long away
But a man must look around
and you re the sweetest thing I ve found
your lost high roller s rollin home today


My daddy said to me
"Son, it s hard as you will see
to find someone upon whom to rely"
in the kitchen mama sneezed
and he grinned big as you please
said "bless you" and a tear come to his eye


I did decide that very day
that I would like to live that way
and now I know I just been wastin time
it s eith you that I should be
if you feel the same bout me
I m headed home along the straightest line
