Blackberry Smoke, Jamey Johnson - Lonesome for a Livin' lyrics
[Blackberry Smoke, Jamey Johnson - Lonesome for a Livin' lyrics]
You might say the reason I
Was put on this Earth
Was to pour out my heart every day
It's just what comes natural
Like takin’ a breath
I could sing what I never could say
I put quite a few tears
Into quite a few beers
Yes I've worn my soul on my sleeve
Lay it out there for the whole world to see
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
I lived all the lyrics for
Better or for worse
The drinkin’ the cheatin' 'n' the lyin'
Well I guess I walked it just how I talked it
Both eyes wide open but stone blind
I wonder how many angels are waitin' for me
To finally fall down on my knees
And then put me back up on my feet
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
I miss them old friends of mine
That left me behind
Seems like so many gone home
Yeah but I still sing with 'em
And I sure won’t forget ’em
I live the life of an old country song
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
Oh and heartache is my claim to fame
Was put on this Earth
Was to pour out my heart every day
It's just what comes natural
Like takin’ a breath
I could sing what I never could say
I put quite a few tears
Into quite a few beers
Yes I've worn my soul on my sleeve
Lay it out there for the whole world to see
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
I lived all the lyrics for
Better or for worse
The drinkin’ the cheatin' 'n' the lyin'
Well I guess I walked it just how I talked it
Both eyes wide open but stone blind
I wonder how many angels are waitin' for me
To finally fall down on my knees
And then put me back up on my feet
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
I miss them old friends of mine
That left me behind
Seems like so many gone home
Yeah but I still sing with 'em
And I sure won’t forget ’em
I live the life of an old country song
Yeah the blues have been my old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame
Oh and heartache is my claim to fame
