Lonesome, On'ry And Mean Lyrics - Travis Tritt

On a greyhound bus, Lord I'm traveling this morning 

I'm going to Shreveport and down to New Orleans 

Been driving these highways, been doing things my way 

It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean 

Now her hair was jet black, and her name was Codene 

Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street queens 

She got tired of that smokey wine dream 

Began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean 

And we got together, and we cashed in our sweeps 

Gave them to a beggar who was mumbling through the streets 

There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams 

Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean

Now I'm down in this valley, where the wheels turn so low 

At dawn I pray, to the Lord of my soul 

I say do Lord, do right by me 

I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean
