It's Winter here in Illinois
The sun is a recluse
I've been up early lately
Like we've got ourselves a truce
Walking down the street,
And everyone's walking in twos
Except for me, and maybe you
It's just me and my cat
And my guitar
Doing what we can
To ward away this lonely heart
It's just me and my cat
And my guitar
And we're all sitting here alone
Wondering where you are
It's winter here in Illinois
And I'm all by myself
Drinking from a bottle
I found on the bottom shelf
Just the other day
I learned a song by Mr. Green
"So Tired of Being Alone"
Hey man, I know just what you mean
I know being alone
It ain't so bad
I know being alone
It ain't so bad
Not when it's me and my cat
And my guitar
Doing a good job
Warding away this lonely heart
It's just me and my cat
And my guitar
And we don't need you, darling
Without you we're going far
We're going far
