If Anyone Ought To Know

(album: 1996 - 1996)

Sitting in a road side tavern
The only cowboy seated here alone
Every night a lonely lady
Wants to tell me all about her broken home

It's like they can see inside my mind
They act as though they know I'll understand
I guess they know it when the hear my name
And feel it when they touch my trembling hand

Ah, but if anyone ought to know
The loneliness of a rolling stone
It ought to be me, I've always been alone
If anyone ought to know
About things like hurt and misery
It ought to be me, Lord in heaven knows it ought to be me

If anyone ought to know
The loneliness of a rolling stone
It ought to be me, that's the reason I'm all alone
If anyone ought to know
About things like hurt and misery
It ought to be me, Lord in heaven knows it ought to be me
