Somebody Somewhere
Loretta Lynn & friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It must have all started with that darn'd old Late Show.
It made me so lonely and sad.
And to make it all better, I kept getting bluer,
With each little drink that I had.
So I tuned in a DJ,
Who played every sad song he owned.
Is away, bein' needed at home.
Somebody, somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight.
Lord, here sits a woman, just lonesome enough to be right.
For love 'em or leave 'em, how I need someone to hold tight.
Somebody, somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight.
In the song, “Somebody Somewhere,” Loretta Lynn and her friends sing about loneliness and longing for companionship. The first verse describes how the singer was feeling lonely after watching a late-night show and drinking alone. She then tunes in to a radio DJ who plays sad songs that only make her feel worse. The second verse expresses her yearning for someone to hold and the frustration of everyone she knows being too busy to spend time with her. The chorus repeats the idea that there must be someone out there who is missing out on the opportunity to be with the singer tonight.
The lyrics of this country ballad are relatable for anyone who has experienced the blues of loneliness. It talks about the dark side of staying up late and being alone, leading to depression and longing. The song is also a good representation of the life of country music stars who spend a lot of time on the road and away from their loved ones.
