I see life from the highway I've made it my home There's a certain kind of freedom In just being alone Well I've turned my hands to most things As a working man must But the dollar and the bottle They're all I can trust Well they're ain't nothing like a sunset Or walking in the rain Or waking up at first light On the dusty desert plain There are towns I can't remember And friends I can't recall But this old heart and me We've drifted through them all And most times I'm certain It suits me just right But I'm sure close to lonely tonight I'm sure close to lonely tonight And I'm too tired to put up a fight And if this feeling don't kill me Well the whiskey just might 'Cause I'm sure close to lonely tonight Every man's got a weakness Baby I've got two See one of them I'm drinking And the other one is you So pour another strong one And I'll drink it like a fool 'Cause you're looking like a princess now From this old bar stool And it looks like you're certain It suits you just right And I'm sure close to lonely tonight Well I'm sure close to lonely tonight And I'm too tired to put up a fight And if this feeling don't kill me Well the whiskey just might 'Cause I'm sure close to lonely tonight And I'm sure close to lonely tonight
