"Lonely Tonight" lyrics

I was way down south
Some border town
Where Texas and Louisiana meet
Was a young gun for hire
That night was on fire
Could've been me or just the heat
Me or just the heat

Between the whiskey and coke
Thick cigarette smoke
Her perfume cut through the air
She lowered her eyes
B couldn't normalize
The beauty in long dark hair
A played that guitar
With all of my heart
I could feel the sweat dripping from the strings
She shot me a smile
Little lonely but wild
For a second I felt like a king
Felt like a king

When the bar shut down
I bought us a round
Two whiskey's bottom shelves
When the last sip was gone
She said I know it may be wrong
But boy I can't help myself

And she said baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight
Been strong for so long
The strength in me is gone
It's time to let go of this fight

Now I know two wrongs
Holdin' on to dawn
Ain't goin' to make it alright
But she said baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight

You can say goodbye
When the dawn arrives
We knew you were destined to go
I won't complicate
These emotions at stake
There's nothin' I need to know
She said I know the truth
With a guy like you
So baby tell me no lies
Just lay me down
And kiss me soft now
Like everything I said wasn't true

And she said baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight
Been strong for so long
The strength in me is gone
It's time to let go of this fight

Now I know two wrongs
Holdin' on to dawn
Ain't goin' to make it alright
But she said baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight

Well that sun came fast
And her gettin' dressed casts
A shadow I still see now
And I can hear her try
To tell me goodbye
But she smiled and just laid back down

And I said baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight
Don't want to be lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely

Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
