Lonesome On My Own lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate to say it but
She looks happier now in her posts and her photographs
Maybe she's better without
Hangin' from my love like a marionette
And even when I was alone
To know she was out there, it kept me warm
Now that the sun's going down
I shiver and shake 'til tomorrow morning

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still out here alone
With my thumb out on the side of the road
I see you dancing in my head
Every time someone turns on The Rolling Stones
Maybe it's better you're gone
Now I can be lonesome on my own

[Verse 2]
I'm like a dog on the loose
Every drink filters through my past
And I would forget about you
Sometimes I like to pretend I can
It's like that merry-go-round
Where we used to meet on the edge of town
You'd tell you about your big plans between drags of your smoke
And I'd spin you around and around
[Chorus]
You'd say someday I'm gonna go
Stick out my thumb on the side of the road
Make my way to the city where nobody knows me
And live like a rolling stone
Somewhere far from home
Where I can be lonesome on my own

[Verse 3]
You were always living in the moment
I was always clinging to the past
Haunted by things left unspoken
There was only so much sand in the hourglass

[Chorus]
Some things I'll never know
Are you happy? Did you finally find your own road?
Someone or someplace you could call home
You were always a rolling stone
Maybe it's better you're gone
Now I can be lonesome on my own
I can be lonesome on my own
