"Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone" lyrics

So many people drift into this bar
Looking for a little company, they call it happy hour
I finished playing my last song but my night had just begun
Cause that's when she walked in shining like the sun
She said I like saving the planet, I said I like killing time
She said I ain't big on poetry, but I kinda like the rhymes
I knew she had a story she wanted me to hear
So I bought her another whatever she was drinking
And I had me another beer

There's a sadness in her smile
When she asked if I'd stay for a while
Cause she's a long way away from home
She said we both got nowhere to go
And lonely just won't leave me alone

She said she was the reigning queen
At her high school prom
And every dream she's had since then
Seems they've all come and gone
Said she believed the fairy tale
She was told when she was young
Now there've been too many lovers that she needs to take cover
Find out what she's running from

There's a sadness in her smile
When she asked if I'd stay for a while
'Cause she's a long way away from home
She said we both got nowhere to go
And lonely just won't leave me alone

So alone follows me everywhere I go
Sometimes I dream at night of another life
Where I'm free, so free

So many people drift into this bar
Looking for a little peace of mind, they call it happy hour
Now I know you think I have the answers
To the questions in your mind
But I swear you'll find what you're looking for
If you only look inside

There's a sadness when she smiles
And then she asked if I'd stay for a while
'Cause we're a long way away from home
She said we both got nowhere to go
And lonely just won't leave me alone
Well, I ain't got nowhere to go
And lonely just won't leave me alone
