lyrics

The lights of this town look a lot dimmer now
Than they did back in my single years
That high life I knew back before I met you
How empty it lately appears
I hear half the world is heartbroken
And I can’t believe it’s true
For there’d be no room in all the graveyards
If the world felt the way that I do

Hard times can turn your soul tougher
Good times will take you so high
True love’s the top of the mountain
Oh, but lonely ain’t hardly alive, no
Lonely ain’t hardly alive

Now a woman is strong, she gets up, she goes on
But a man left lonely won’t last
He gets stuck in old dreams like a worn out machine
That just can’t stop replaying the past
As one stumbles out of a tavern
Another stands begging for food
Me, I’d rather be cold, broke and blind
Than to live one more night without you

Hard times can turn your soul tougher
Good times will take you so high
True love’s the top of the mountain
Oh, but lonely ain’t hardly alive, no
Lonely ain’t hardly alive

Hard times will turn your soul tougher
Good times will take you so high
True love’s the top of the mountain
Oh, but lonely ain’t hardly alive, no
Lonely ain’t hardly alive
