Johnny Cash - So Doggone Lonesome lyrics

[Johnny Cash - So Doggone Lonesome lyrics]

I do my best to hide this lowdown feeling
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
But they're always asking me about you
Darling and it hurts me so to
Tell 'em that you're gone

If they ask me, I guess, I'd be denying
That I've been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart
They'd hear it crying
"Where's my darling
When's she coming home?"

I ask myself a million times what's
Right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone
Or hang around for you
Well, I make it pretty good until
That moon comes shining through
And then I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you're a-waiting
Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too
One lonely hour seems forever
Sixty minutes more to wait for you

But I guess I'll keep waiting
'til you're with me
'Cause I believe that loving you is right
But I don't care if the
Sun don't rise tomorrow
If I can't have you with me tonight

Well, I know I'll keep on loving you
Cause true love can't be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind
But I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others
But I know I'd love you still
'Сause I get so doggone lonesome
