"Lonesome As A Shadow" lyrics

"Lonesome As A Shadow"

I come from deep country
Underneath the setting sun
Rollin' down a long highway
That's where this begun
Instead of wonderin' where you are
I just stand behind this guitar
I'm as lonesome as a shadow

I'm as lonesome as a leaf
Steady fallin' down off the tree
Just as tired as the train
That carried my baby away again
Well I come from the gulf
Where even Houston is away up north
I'm as lonesome as a shadow

I was down in Texas baby
Where the paper... Paper crow flies
I was down in Texas
With Louisiana always on my mind
I was out in Arkansas
But I can't tell ya just what I saw
I'm as lonesome as a shadow

I'm as lonesome as a leaf
Steady fallin' down off the tree
Just as sad as the train
That carried my baby away again
Oh goodbye, Woe is me
Bound to Georgia outta' Tennessee
I'm as lonesome
Just as lonesome
Just as lonesome as a shadow
