Lonely Days, Lonely Nights

(album: Come An' Get It - 1981)

I've been burning my bridges
For too many years,
Drowning the sorrow
Of too many tears
Women and whiskey
Are my only friends,
One gives me strength,
One just pretends

I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Yes, It do

I've heard all the wisdom
Of prophets and seers,
It don't soothe my passion
And it don't ease my fears
Burned by love
And blinded by snow,
Bad luck and trouble
Are with me wherever I go

I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Lonely days, lonely nights

Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me

Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...
