No Lonesome Tune

By townes van zandt

I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune

Ah, babe, i'm a-commin' soon

I cannot believe i stayed so long away

But a man must look around

And you're the sweetest thing i've found

Your lost high roller's rollin' home today

My daddy said to me

"son, it's hard as you will see

To find someone upon whom to rely"

In the kitchen mama sneezed

And he grinned big as you please

Said "bless you" and a tear come to his eye

I did decide that very day

That i would like to live that way

And now i know i just been wastin' time

It's eith you that i should be

If you feel the same 'bout me

I'm headed home along the straightest line
