Music
I hung around late at night
looking for a pretty smile
I said my goodbyes
and I swallowed my pride
Went out to walk a while
And as I strolled myself
down an empty road
The sun came up in the sky
And I said to myself as far as I can tell
I'm back on the lonely mile
And I don't talk to the devil
cause she'll make me cry
Don't spit at the wind
when she's blowin' my eye
Don't flirt with disaster
cause you're much too smart
Don't look before forever
cause you'll break my heart
And I don't know how,
I don't know why
I get into trouble every time that I talk
Sometimes I laugh loud,
sometimes I just smile
Back on the lonely mile
Back on the lonely mile
I went to town the other day
To pick up some wine for my soul
When I got back home
she packed up the gun
and left a note on the radio
She said I'm tired of this station
so I'm moving on
Sometimes you gotta turn the dial
She wished me the best
and I ventured to guess
I was back on the lonely mile
And I don't talk to the devil
cause she'll make me cry
Don't spit at the wind
when she's blowing my eye
I don't flirt with disaster
cause I'm much too smart
Don't look for forever
cause it breaks my heart
And I don't know how,
I don't know why
I get into trouble every time that I try
Sometimes I laugh loud,
sometimes I just smile
Back on the lonely mile
Back on the lonely mile
She could be buried deep
like gold inside the ground
She could play hide and seek
where no one is around
She could be out of reach
like a bird up in the sky
But that won't stop my tryin'
I don't talk to the devil
cause he'll make me cry
Don't spit at the wind
when she blow in my eye
Don't flirt with disaster
cause she must be too smart
He'll look for forever
cause he'll break my heart
And I don't know how,
I don't know why
I get into trouble every time that I try
Sometimes I laugh loud,
sometimes I just smile,
like I'm a lonely man, oh yeah
And I don't run with the cheetah
cause he's tucking me out
Don't bow to the righteous
cause he tells me to doubt
Don't hang with the wisdom
cause he makes me think
Don't fall for the water
cause he's letting me sink
And I don't know how,
I don't know why
I get into trouble every
time that I try
Sometimes I laugh loud,
sometimes I just smile back
on the mornin'
Back, back on the mornin'
Back, back,
back
Yeah
