No Lonesome Tune Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune 

Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon 

I cannot believe I stayed so long away 

But a man must look around 

You're the sweetest thing I've found 

All your lost high roller's rollin' home today 

Well, my Daddy said to me 

"Son, it's hard as you will see 

To find someone upon whom to rely 

In the kitchen, Mama sneezed 

And he grinned big as you please 

Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye 

I did decide that very day 

That I would like to live that way 

And now I know I just been wastin' time 

It's with you that I should be 

If you feel the same 'bout me 

Well I'm headed home along the straightest line 

I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune 

Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon 

I cannot believe I stayed so long away 

But a man must look around 

You're the sweetest thing I've found 

All your lost high roller's rollin' home today
