I've been sittin' here alone in the darkness

With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my head

I don't know how much longer I can go on like this

I'm about as lonesome as it gets

Just about as lonesome as it gets



For a long time now we've been driftin' apart

I should have been glad to see you go

But now that it's over and you're on a silver jet

I'm about as lonesome as it gets

Just about as lonesome as it gets



If it rained straight whiskey forty days and nights

Wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel

Or keep this lump that's in my throat

From chokin' me to death

I'm about as lonesome as it gets

Just about as lonesome as it gets



When they dig a six foot hole in the ground

And throw the dirt over me

Just let these words mark my final place of rest

This is as lonesome as it gets

Damn sure as lonesome as it gets



If it rained straight whiskey forty days and nights

Wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel

Or keep this lump that's in my throat

From chokin' me to death

I'm about as lonesome as it gets

Just about as lonesome as it gets

I'm about as lonesome as it gets

Just about as lonesome as it gets
