Oh Lonesome Me
M. Ward ft. Lucinda Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging around
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A love-sick fool, it's blinding, just can't see
Well, I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
Oh, but I still love her so and brother don't you know
Well, I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me
Well, I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
Oh, but I still love her so and brother, don't you know
Well, I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me

"HOLD TIME" - My absolute favorite M Ward album - particularly in the Summertime with the sprinklers going, a tall-cool-one, BBQ, and a PNW sunset.
