My cover of the Ricky Nelson classic from 1958. My version's about a minute longer due to the addition of some harmony and a guitar solo. My solo was inspired by the work of the late James Calvin Wilsey with Chris Isaak's band.

Lyrics
Theres a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it "Lonesome Town"
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
(Guitar Break)
Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
