Lonely Is a Town - Glossary

Lonely is a town

On a night like this

Where the city moans like a neon sign

Just flickering to try and stay lit

And the moon looks like a hole

Cut out of the sky

And shining through is a beacon of light

Somewhere from the other side

The ghosts are out

Their dancing among the living

If you listen you can hear them howl

And I feel like an orphan

Wanting to know

Where is home

I’ve been drug through the churches

Felt trapped like a dog on a chain

You can run as far as you want to

But something’s pulling you back again

Because lonely is a town

When your floating through space on a ston

And nobody knows where we’r headed

Maybe back to where we belong

The wind only blows

'Cause it’s got nowhere to go

To call its own

You don’t need a soothsayer

To tell you how this life’s going to go

It starts just like you remember it

And how it ends nobody’s going to know

But your momma, she’ll always be your momma

No matter what kind of trouble you get in

And your daddy may have never told you that he loves you

But it doesn’t mean he never did
