Lonely - Josh Ward

This old house is as empty as my heart

These four walls are closin' in on me

And I don’t know where to start

'Cause if the night that she left me

All the miles in between

Whatever it is, Lord it’s killin' me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Well I know that she missed me

I could hear it in her voice

Work called me away from home

You know it never was my choice

Guess she had all she could stand

So she packed up and ran

Now the tables turn and all the pain’s on me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Now her side of the bed is cold

And all that I have left to hold

Is a whiskey bottle and her memory

Her makeup and her clothes are gone

This house ain’t really a home

All that’s left is pain and misery

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

The flame in this old fireplace is brunin' strong

And my heart is feelin' weak

This picture that I’m holdin'

Is the only memory I can keep

Well the trains left the tracks

It ain’t comin' back

And who’s to blame?

The engineer was me

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Her side of the bed is cold

All that I have left to hold

Is a whiskey bottle and her memory

Her makeup and her clothes are gone

And this house ain’t really a home

All that’s left is pain and misery

I guess lonely was a bad place to be

Yeah I guess lonely was a bad place to be
