Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness - John Prine

You come home late and you come home early

You come home big when you’re feeling small

You come home straight and you come home curly

Sometimes you just don’t come home at all

What in the world has come over you?

What in heaven’s name have you done?

You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You’re out there running just to be on the run

Well I got a heart that burns with the fever

And I got a waried and a jealous mind

How can a love that’ll last forver

Get left so far behind?

What in the world has come over you?

What in heaven’s name have you done?

You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You’re out there running just to be on the run

Well it’s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow

It’s crossed the evil line today

Well how can you ask about tomorrow?

You ain’t got no word to say
