"Lonesome" lyrics

You could stay the night
But I don't recommend that kind of lovin'
That kind of lovin'
You can run and hide from all those heartless demons
When you get there you can tell me
Exactly how you're feeling

But the sun does rise
Each and every morning
Life can hit you so hard
Often without warning but at least you tried
To pull yourself together, but for better or worse
Yeah, I still surrender

I get lonesome
I find my way to the promised land
I hope someday you'll understand
I get lonesome
The strength to know who I am
Is this what it takes to be a man?
I get lonesome, lonesome

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, oh)

You could hold your hate
But I don't recommend that kind of living
That kind of living
You could hesitate on that old empty promise
That you're holding like a dealer
Handing out your karma for the rest of your life
Never finding answers
But I'm hoping you'll remember
Nothing lasts forever

I get lonesome
I find my way to the promised land
I hope someday you'll understand
I get lonesome
The strength to know who I am
Is this what it takes to be a man?
I get lonesome, lonesome

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, oh)

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, oh)
