Lyrics Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam

Population Me

This place will tell you lies

With each passing shadow that goes by

But there's only one or two, at most just three

More likely none that I still believe

They'll say you're not alone

But don't listen to them

Tell that very long I did then find out through misery

That the true population's me

I used to look for days around

But no trace of her love could be found

I'd holler, cry out, beg and scream

Throw myself down, then start to plead

Searched for her heart 'til mine would bleed

Offered it up but there wasn't any need

Too late to care, she's no longer here

The population's me

I used to look for days around

But no trace of her love could be found

I'd holler, cry out, beg and scream

Throw myself down, then start to plead

Searched for her heart 'til mine would bleed

Offered it up but there wasn't any need

Too late to care, she's no longer here

The population's me

This place will tell you lies

With each passing shadow that goes by

But there's only one or two, at most just three

More likely none that I still believe
