Lonesome Old Town Lyrics - George Jones

(George Jones - George Riddle) 

Well, here I stand on this high ground 

Looking out over this great big town 

Searching for love that didn't treat me right 

It's a lonesome old town tonight. 

I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay 

A friend he told me that she came this way 

He said that he saw her by the neon lights 

It's a lonesome old town tonight.

I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars 

They're too far away for me to see who they are 

I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight 

It's a lonesome old town tonight. 

Well, here I stand on this high ground 

Looking for my baby but she can't be found 

The stars are out and the moon is bright 

It's a lonesome old town tonight.

A friend he told me that she came this way 

He said that he saw her by the neon lights 

It's a lonesome old town tonight.

It's a lonesome old town tonight. 

It's a lonesome old town tonight...
