WRITER CARL PERKINS



They don't have words

To say how blue I'm feelin'

This ol' world can lift you up then lay ya' down

It's a mighty lonesome feelin'

When your lover's gone

This ol' town go's colder

When you're a man on your own

I keep walkin' the streets of this ol' city

Window shoppin' but I can't see a thing

Just a walkin' and a humin'

This lonesome song

This ol' town grow's colder

When you're a man on your own

O' look at them their smilein'

They don't know I'm here

They couldn't care less

If i just up and disappeared

O' there must be a reason

Why my nights are so long

It's a mighty lonesome feelin'

When you're a man on your own

Yeah it's a mighty lonesome feelin'

When you're a man on your own
