So Doggone Lonesome

So Doggone Lonesome - Grant Grieves

Written by：Johnny Cash

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'

I try to make believe there's nothin' wrong

But they're always askin' me about you darlin'

And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone

If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin'

That I've been unhappy all alone

But if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'

Oh where's my darlin' when's she comin' home

I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do

To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you

Well I make it pretty good until that moon comes

Shinin' through

And that I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you're a waitin'

Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too

One lonely hour seems forever

Sixty minutes more to wait for you

But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me

'Cause I believe that lovin' you is right

I don't care if the sun don't shine tomorrow

If I can't have you with me tonight

Well I know

I'll keep on loving you 'cause true love can't be killed

I ought to get you off of my mind

But I guess I never will

I could have a dozen others

But I know I'd love you still

'Cause I get so doggone lonesome
