Breaking down, I need some rest
I'm like a man from the third dimension
This way of life put me to the test
I used to be a drummer man
Kept it in the groove
Then I had a change of heart
Started singing the blues
That's what I choose
Leaving me high lonesome blue
Time moves on I'm riding with it
There's no choice, it's out of my hands
This is my way and I won't quit it
Fragile, like a rope of sand
There's a place high on a mountain
Where I go to find relief
Get my feet back on the ground
Set my spirit free
Put on my walking shoes
Got the high lonesome blue
There's nothing left to prove
High lonesome blue
I'm coming home, needing attention Breaking down, I need some rest I'm like a man from the third dimension This way of life put me to the test I used to be a drummer man Kept it in the groove Then I had a change of heart Started singing the blues That's what I choose Leaving me high lonesome blue Time moves on I'm riding with it There's no choice, it's out of my hands This is my way and I won't quit it Fragile, like a rope of sand There's a place high on a mountain Where I go to find relief Get my feet back on the ground Set my spirit free Put on my walking shoes Got the high lonesome blue There's nothing left to prove High lonesome blue Explain Request ×
