Townes Van Zandt — No Lonesome Tune

[Verse 1] I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune Ah, babe, I'm a-coming soon I cannot believe I stayed so long away But a man must look around And you're the sweetest thing I've found Ah your lost high roller's rolling home today [Verse 2] Well, my Daddy said to me "Son, it's hard, as you will see To find someone upon whom to rely" And in the kitchen, Mama sneezed And he grinned big as you please Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye [Verse 3] I did decide that very day That I would like to live that way And now I know I just been wasting time It's with you that I should be And if you feel the same 'bout me Well I'm headed home along the straightest line [Verse 1] Ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune Ah, babe, I'm a-coming soon I cannot believe I stayed so long away But a man must look around And you're the sweetest thing I've found Ah your lost high roller's rolling home today
