Shed a Tear (For the Lonesome) - Green On Red

Rudy heard stories from a woman she met in Nogales

About dreams that came true like the movies she loved as a child

She worked night and day slaved for her pay sewing dresses

To buy her ticket to get her away down the mile

I never knew what a woman could do when she’s desperate

Funny how we all wound up at the same motel

So I’ll buy you a beer and we’ll shed a tear for the lonesome

Who wander this world searching tor someone to love

Rudy found trouble in a truckstop outside of Phoenix

A wizened old man with offers she knew to refuse

So he promised her things he saw in her eyes she needed

But with a child inside her now she had something to lose

I never knew what a woman could do when she’s desperate

Funny how we all wound up at the same motel

So I’ll buy you a beer and we’ll shed a tear for the lonesome

Who wander this world searching tor someone to love
