GIt?s a lonely C7Mfeeling like it or nGot C7M

It?s a crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone

It?s someone?s recorder when hoping that someone is home

It?s an hour to kill to do what you please

But nobody?s up for just shooting the breeze

It?s a lonely feeling it?s like a disease

It?s a lonely feeling you pray that it leaves

It?s three men from Chile who are tired and they wanna go home

They?ve run outta money and they?re stuck up in East Oregon

So you give them the small bit of change in your hand

You try to speak Spanish but they don?t understand

It?s a lonely feeling it gets to a man

It?s a lonely feeling that runs through the land

It?s your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well

You try to break through but you run outta stories to tell

So you bid him goodbye and you step into space

There?s so many questions that you cannot face

It?s a lonely feeling taking his place

It?s a lonely feeling you just can?t erase

It?s a statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died

All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside

But you?re growing religious the older you get

You haven?t been saved but it could happen yet

It?s a lonely feeling full of regret

It?s a lonely feeling won?t let you forget

It?s a bus stop, a street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum

It?s fright and rejected, neglected and blind after dawn (wrong words)

But you look in the mirror and you?re still hanging in

It?s there to remind you how lucky you?ve been

It?s a lonely feeling now and again

It?s only a feeling that comes now and then.
