Lonesome Standard Time Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

Do you feel a kindred spirit, to the sound of pouring rain? 

Does your heart start to yearning when you hear a distant train? 

If you'd like to take that train and ride, to someone left behind 

You don't need the wind to tell you, you're on lonesome standard time 

Do you sit alone and think about, an old love from the past? 

Do you feel a bit more empty every time you raise your glass? 

The memory of his kisses sends a shiver up your spine 

You don't need a watch to tell you, you're on lonesome standard time 

When you hear the little sad songs, do you hang on every word? 

Do you swear a crying fiddle, has the sweetest sound on earth? 

If you shudder at the music of a hoedown in the pines 

You're on lonesome standard time 

There's a bigger clock a-ticking, it crosses every zone 

The first time your old heart broke, was the time you turned it on 

It don't never need a-winding 'cause if it works like mine 

Well, there ain't no doubt about it, you're on lonesome standard time 

Oh, when you hear the little sad songs, do you hang on every word? 

Do you swear a crying fiddle, has the sweetest sound on earth? 

If you shudder at the music of a hoedown in the pines 

You're on lonesome standard time 

Well if you shudder at the music of a hoedown in the pines 

You're on lonesome standard time
