So lonely, I'm a lonely man from Gainesville

(He ain't got nowhere to go), got nowhere to go

Said I don't want doin' wrong over this land

(Yes his blood is growin' cold), cold, gettin colder



Yeah, I believe that all the people on the street

Take the time, time to stare

Not lonely in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere

Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander aimlessly

Lord it can't be

I don't want it to be my destiny

Lord, woman come an help me



Oh I wish that I could find me a turkey

(all he needs is good sweet love)

Yeah gotta go quack quack

Oh baby I would know in my heart I would be lucky

(That's the only way to go)

Yeah, be fine



Yeah, I wanna tell you that all the people on that street

they take the time to stare

I can see in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere

Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander 'round aimlessly

Can't be, can't be

Don't want it to be my destiny Lord,take ahold of me



Sure don't wanna be a lonely man
