Lonely Feeling Lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed

It's a long stretch of highway at midnight in New Mexico 

It's a small colored light that shines from your car radio 

It's the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot 

Gives you the very last hit from her pot 

It's a lonely feeling, it's what you got 

It's a lonely feeling, like it or not 

Well, it's the crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone 

Well, it's someone's recorder when you're hopin' that someone is home 

Well, it's an hour to kill to do what you please 

Nobody's up for just shootin' the breeze 

It's a lonely feeling, it's like a disease 

It's a lonely feeling, you pray that it leaves 

It's your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well 

Yeah, you try to breakthrough but you run out of stories to tell 

So you bid him goodbye and you step into space 

So many questions that you cannot face 

There's a lonely feeling taking his place 

It's a lonely feeling that you just can't erase 

Well, it's three men from Chile who are tired and they want to go home 

Well, they run out of money, stuck up in east Oregon 

So you give 'em the small bit of change from your hand 

Try to speak Spanish but they don't understand 

It's a lonely feeling, it gets to a man 

It's a lonely feeling that runs through the land 

Well, it's a statue of Jesus that your grandmother had when she died 

It's all cracked and all yellow and know you should throw it aside 

But you're growin' religious the older you get 

Haven't been saved but it should happen yet 

It's a lonely feeling full of regret 

It's a lonely feeling, won't let you forget 

Well, it's a bus stop, a street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum 

It's fright and rejected, neglected and blind, deaf and dumb 

Yeah, but you look in the mirror and you're still hanging in 

It's there to remind you how lucky you've been 

It's a lonely feeling, now and again 

It's a lonely feeling that comes now and then
