As I pulled in the drive late last evening
All my things were scattered on the ground
It was clearer than the air right off the ocean
I was headed for the 'lonesome side of town'
All my neighbours know the feeling
We all share a little common ground
There's a women's wrath to blame,
Our stories all the same
Here living on the
Lonesome side of town
By the time I got to work on Monday
Word from the top had just come down
We're locking all the doors tomorrow morning
We'll see you on the 'lonesome side of town'
Tonight we're having a block party
Where all the broken hearted gather round
We'll talk about how soon we'll all be movin'
Away from the 'lonesome side of town'
