I've been burning my bridges for too many years,
drowning the sorrow of too many tears.
Women and whiskey are my only friends,
one gives me strength, one just pretends.

      I've been waiting my whole life
      for things to work out right
      but those lonely days turn into lonely nights.

I've heard all the wisdom of prophets and seers.
It don't soothe my passion and it don't ease my fears.
Burned by love and blinded by snow,
bad luck and trouble are with me wherever I go.

      I've been waiting my whole life
      for things to work out right
      but those lonely days turn into lonely nights.
      Lonely days, lonely nights,
      lonely days, lonely nights.

   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright for me.

   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely night,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely night,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   someday, babe, it's gonna be alright.(fade)
