Lonesome as a Shadow - Charley Crockett

I come from deep country

Underneath the setting sun

Rollin' down a long highway

That’s where this begun

Instead of wonderin' where you are

I just stand behind this guitar

I’m as lonesome as a shadow

I’m as lonesome as a leaf

Steady fallin' down off the tree

Just as tired as the train

That carried my baby away again

Well I come from the gulf

Where even Houston is away up north

I’m as lonesome as a shadow

I was down in Texas baby

Where the paper… Paper crow flies

I was down in Texas

With Louisiana always on my mind

I was out in Arkansas

But I can’t tell ya just what I saw

I’m as lonesome as a shadow

I’m as lonesome as a leaf

Steady fallin' down off the tree

Just as sad as the train

That carried my baby away again

Oh goodbye, Woe is me

Bound to Georgia outta' Tennessee

I’m as lonesome

Just as lonesome

Just as lonesome as a shadow
