about

This song was recorded from road amidst a 48 state 52 day tour of the U.S.
It is the epitome of how I felt some nights, being far from home, far away from my love.
It pretty much nails what it was like to be on the road for this stretch.
The song was written by Baker Knight.

lyrics

There`s a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it "Lonesome Town"
Where the broken hearts stay (Lonesome Town)

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears (full of tears)

Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget (to forget)
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Lonesome Town

You can't take the New Orleans out of the ... more man...
