Loneliness

“LONELINESS”


Words and Music by Johnny Townsend and Mike Reilly


I’ve seen that desperate look before
You’re woman just walked right out the door
Guess nobody ever taught you boy
All is hell in love and war


You ought to know by now
Sometimes love just don’t work out
All you can do is what you can
Boy, you’ve got to take it like a man


Cause if the sudden shock don’t stop you
And the heartache Lord don’t drop you
And if the emptiness don’t scare you
The loneliness will wear you down


There are many roads for you to choose
Brother for you to walk away those blues
And no step you take is right is wrong
Just the next one in the path you're on


You ought to know by now
Sometimes love just don’t work out
All you can do is what you can
Boy, you’ve got to take it like a man


Cause if the sudden shock don’t stop you
And the heartache Lord don’t drop you
And if the emptiness don’t scare you
The loneliness will wear you down
Loneliness will wear you down


(repeat chorus)
