Joe Bonamassa Lyrics
Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
I'm so damn lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
And I feel like I wanna die
Mayday, Mayday
I've been shot down over stormy sea
Well, I feel like I'm driftin' away
Can't seem to get a grip on me
Now I can't even try
I'm so damn lonely
And ain't even high
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely
You stand there bleedin'
People pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die
Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna die
I'm so damn lonely
And ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
Sloe gin, honey
Baby, come and get the best of me

im a metalhead. This is not my usual type of music. But my dad used to love this song and we always listened to it together. He died on leucemia 2 years ago. I really miss him and sometimes i listen to this song to remember him. Thank you, Joe.

Be a metalhead by your lifestyle
And always listen to every music that's good.
That's the true metal lifestyle, being open minded
ps- RIP papa Fox

I'm sorry as I know the pain personally. But isn't it wonderful to have a memory of you with your father sharing something beautiful together.
