I pulled out my lighter and a dirty cigarette
I thought the worst of my doings, hadn't come to me yet
If loneliness could sing, wouldn't that ring true
I bet the whole wide world would hear it and sing along to the tune
Ah, ooh
Oooh
Ah, ooh
Oooh
Timing sure did tell how mistakes are made
With each lesson learned brings something to the page
If heartbreak had a name, well it'd be Josephine
Yes, I saw her the other day; she burned out in a gleam
Ah, ooh
Oooh
Ah, ooh
Oooh
Well where did my head go when I crossed through Cripple Creek
In search of gold and treasure, and fruition came to be
This loneliness could take me half way to the sea
Oh, but I don't wanna do it without someone next to me
Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
