Walking In A Lonesome Morning Rain
I left our home back in Tuscaloosa
Cause the road was calling me each night
To sing my songs and play the guitar
Just a dream I had to realize
On the road the party life took over
And the bottle was my only real close friend
Sinking deeper down against the bottom
And I didnt know where it all would end
Chorus
I tried so many times to stop this way of life
I said so many times that I would change
I promised you that I would come back again
Now Im walking in a lonesome morning rain
My head aches as I try to remember
What I did in Dallas last night
Only weak memories of people round me
A honky tonk with bright neon lights
Chorus
I tried so many times to stop this way of life
I said so many times that I would change
I promised you that I would come back again
Now Im walking in a lonesome morning rain
(BRIDGE)
The taxi stops outside our house this morning I can see the curtains are all down
Its plain enough to see ... now youre a memory ... and the rain falls as I walk out of town
Chorus
I tried so many times to stop this way of life
I said so many times that I would change
I promised you that I would come back again
Now
Im walking in a lonesome morning rain
