Album: The Late Great Townes Van Zandt

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
