My liquor's in the car, the girls are at the barnBut I'm lonesome as I've ever beennI could sing a song but no one would sing alongnNot even the birdies would singnnI recieve no letters herenThough it's been so many yearsnI must confess, I'm a lonely messnDolly, dearnnForever I have roamed under Heaven's doornI've learned every song to singnWith a hammer I have perched and shingled every churchnMy arms can no longer swingnnYou can choose the road you're onnAnd keep from doing wrongnBut all the things tomorrow bringsnHave come and gonennI walk down to the bridge where the brick man used to livenAnd I watch the gathering skiesnI found a pal of mine I lost on down the linenI hardly did recognisennWhere've you been says henYou must remember menYou've been gone for too damned longnWalk a while with me
