(Mike Ward / Dierks Bentley)



Like the leaves I get restless

I just can't seem to settle down

When the autumn wind blows, it cuts right to my soul

And pulls my roots out of the ground



Chorus

Lonesome why do you love me you won't leave me

Why can't we ever be apart

Just when love finds me your chains they bind me

Forever shackled to your heart

Lonesome why do you love me



Rain ain't fallin on my windshield

But there's tears in my rearview

Nature's dyin I know behind she's cryin

Why do we leave them sad and blue



Chorus

You won't leave me



Chorus

Why do you love me

You won't let me be won't set me free

Lonesome why do you love me
