I'M USED TO BEING LONELY

Words & Music

Spent a long time walking
down this dusty road,
For what seems like
a thousand years or so.
And I've been searching for a place
where I belong,
But now I'M USED TO BEING LONELY,
don't you know?

CHORUS:
Now I'M USED TO BEING LONELY,
Just a drifter with no true home.
But in my heart I keep on searching,
For a true love to call my own.

I've seen the sunrise over mountains,
And watched it set on the golden shore.
Played my guitar through
laughter and crying,
But I don't hurt much anymore.

I'll keep strumming on this guitar,
Singing songs up at the stars.
I've found comfort in my music,
And that's how I've hidden my scars.

CHORUS:
Now I'M USED TO BEING LONELY,
Just a drifter with no true home.
But in my heart I keep on searching,
For a true love to call my own.

Maybe someday I'll find me
a love that is true,
And a heart that is good and is kind.
But for now, I'll stay a tumbleweed,
Wind a-blowing me through time.

CHORUS:
Now I'M USED TO BEING LONELY,
Just a drifter with no true home.
But in my heart I keep on searching,
For a true love to call my own.

Being lonely is a feeling we can all relate to. This tugs the heartstrings. I like the use of music as a healing devise. Beautiful music and vocals. It all works perfectly together. Very nice!

dusty roads are a give away for a lonely song. yeah classic country. i think heshe does protest too much! lonely is as lonely does.

@gwynjones 4w

This feels like an updated classic from country's rich back catalogue of 'File Under Lonesome' songs...hats off (cowboy ones, obvs) to you for doing this!

@musicsongwriter 4w

Love the melodic feel, the energy. Superb vocals, playing and atmosphere, Jerry.

@sunfire 4w

Awesome tune! So relatable. Music is the healer. From the words to the music. Enjoyed hearing this!

if you had a career as a country singer, this would be a fabulous signature song. you put three lonesome cowboys on base and then drive them home

@sbs 4w

You know you're doing something right when your lyrics hit on other people's lives and remind them of something in their life, too. I was lonely with my first husband. Now I'm married to my soulmate - highly recommended! Love the melody here, especially in the chorus - so danceable! Your melodies have really stood out to me lately. Wowsa!
