Won't Be Lonely Long
Josh Thompson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the lonely set in, I fought back the tears
I don't love you anymore is so hard to hear
It felt like a mile from our door to my truck
Somehow I found the strength to fire it up

How lucky am I, that you said goodbye
At seven o'clock on a Friday night
I won't be lonely long
By the time that first beer is gone
I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud, with my friends around
We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud

To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs
Hey ladies, tonight it's on
No, I won't be lonely long

Well, I usually ain't much on dancin', but tonight I'm cuttin' up a rug
I get to say no ma'am when the ladies ask if I'm with anyone, no ma'am
When I'm tippin' the band and buyin' everybody shots
Spendin' every dollar I got

I won't be lonely long
By the time that first beer is gone
I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud, with my friends around
We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud

To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs
Hey ladies, tonight it's on
No, I won't be lonely long

There ain't an empty space in this parkin' lot
Look at all the friends I got

I won't be lonely long
By the time that first beer is gone
I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud with my friends around
We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud

To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs
Hey ladies, tonight it's on




I won't be lonely long
No, I won't be lonely long

I tried not to cry when loneliness consumed me

Going from our door to my truck felt like a long distance


Somehow I found the strength to fire it up
I managed to start the truck despite feeling weak

I'm fortunate that you ended things with me


At seven o'clock on a Friday night
You broke up with me on a Friday night at 7 PM

This song is awesome and he's even more amazing in concert. You don't see true musicians anymore and when you do they make an impact like josh does! I wish him all the success in the world.

LilDonker

What a great song. The number of songs that give you that real country feel are getting harder to find.

Stephanie Doucette

I LOVE this guy! He's going to be as famous as George Strait and Garth Brooks one day. Everything I hear from him is amazing.

Amy Davis

Country is a way of life, how you were raised, its in your heart. Its not how you dress or what you drive. Josh Thompson is exactly what makes a country boy so damn good...

AJ Davis
