Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Lonesome To The Bone

On the park bench I slept on

Raindrops are fallin' on the newspapers coverin' me

I hear early mornin' motors

And I know the world is wakin' for the dawn

But my mind's down a dark alley

Somewhere where last night you loved me

And in the early mornin' chill my arms remember still

But I'm droppin' like a stone lonesome to the bone

The sun is roughly risin' on the roofs of Stagger town

The time for sweat and poison out is just now comin' 'round

The high time of last midnight is over with and gone

Leavin' me to be lonesome to the bone

I walked away the wind blows

And any way the wind goes will be good enough for me

The streets are loud and crowded

But I walk my weary way lost and alone

Your hot breath and your laughter

Keep flashin' through my mind to warm me

But the naked light of day soon makes it fade away

And I'm droppin' like a stone lonesome to the bone

The sun is roughly risin' on the roofs of Stagger town

The time for sweat and poison out is just now comin' 'round

The high time of last midnight is over with and gone

Leavin' me to be lonesome to the bone
