So Lonely

Oh, I don't get no letters

Nobody calls

Nobody comes 'round here no more

No pretty ladies

Nor pretty boys

Nobody comes 'round my door no more

It's just lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know

It's just lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know

Cops treat ya dirty

And the children treat ya mean

This is the lowest town I've ever seen

People keep draggin' their bodies around

Ain't enough pride to even look around

It's just lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know

It's just lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know

Now honey you got on little light

Now you keep it burning bright

If you keep it lit every night

Someday a good man come and make it alright

It's just so lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know

It's just lonely, yeah

Mama you don't know
