Was Hank Williams lonely or was he just blue?
Are “Lonely” and “Blue” the same words to you?
Hank kinda told us that the blues got him down
But music is coloured with a lonelier sound
The sound of the wind mixes up in my mind
Stirring up the saddest most beautiful times
Do you really find it hard to understand
That beauty and sadness can go hand in hand?
Lonesome, am I lonesome?
Some of you folks call it “lonely”
Lonesome, sure thing to be lonesome;
Just be born, there you go, can’t you see?
Why all you ‘fraidy cats go afraid from that word?
In a word it’s what stray cattins’ about
To be wild and to wander alone on this earth;
Unchained, untethered, unbound
One day you’ll be there looking death in the eye
Then you’ll come to understand this lonely guy
How each and every footstep, the same as the last
Was leading you here, becoming your past
Lonesome, am I lonesome?
Some of you folks call it “lonely”
Lonesome, sure thing to be lonesome;
Just be born, there you go, can’t you see?
