Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
D D
Somewhere between here and where I'd been

And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
A D
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win.

And now I'm lost and lonesome

Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
D7 G
Now I'm lost and lonesome

Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
G D7
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
D D
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry
G D7
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen
A D
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time.

And now I'm lost and lonesome

Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
D7 G
Now I'm lost and lonesome

G D7
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
D D
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
G D7
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
A D
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines.
