Lonesome Dave (from "An American Treasure" album)

Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave?
Used to play in a rock 'n' roll band
He'd be up and on the stage
All the kids would raise their hands

But oh, then disco came
Nothing lasts for long
Oh, it's such a shame
Lonesome Dave is gone

Well, he'd be up there rocking out
Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year
Lightning Boogie and Amy's Blues
Play it so loud that it hurt my ears

And oh, something went wrong
Yeah, the times have changed
Now it's a different song
Lonesome Dave is gone

All right, Dave!
Yeah!

Well, three P.M. at the Holiday Inn
The room service coming on a tray
Tuna melt and orange juice
It was heaven there for Lonesome Dave

But, oh, that disco came
Oh, the times have changed
Now, it's a different song
Lonesome Dave is gone

Well, I wish I was Lonesome Dave
I'd lay up with the girls all night
I'd run 'round in the parking lot
I'd drink some beer and get into fights

But oh, it's only me
Now it's a different song
What will be, will be
Lonesome Dave is gone

All right, Dave
Hang on, Dave, yeah!

Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave?
He used to play in a guitar band
Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year
God, I know, we all love him, man

Yeah, and he'd go wild
Yeah, the crowd would yell
Time is moving on
Lonesome Dave is gone

Bye bye, Dave!
Yeah
Bye bye, Dave!
