Ian Noe
This Lonesome Line
[Verse 1]
The cold, cold wind is blowing strong
I'd get on that train, but that train's done gone
It's a cold dark night and the moon won't shine
As I'm drifting down this lonesome line
[Verse 2]
I've been on the move, yes for a while I've roamed
Through a-many fine town and a-many fine home
But somehow it seems that no place is mine
So I'm drifting down this lonesome line
[Verse 3]
Oh I had a girl where the big river flowed
She was sweet like the rain to a dusty road
And try as I may, she's still on my mind
As I'm drifting down this lonesome line
[Verse 4]
And I met a man on the way who said "Son you won't last
"A life without love is a life that goes fast"
I said, "I've done all I can, but it's left me behind
"So I'm drifting down this lonesome line"
[Verse 5]
Now the moon, she sleeps like a Willow in fall
So high in the clouds, you know she won't shine at all
It's a cold dark night, so Lord be kind
As I'm drifting down this lonesome line
Yes it's a cold dark night, so Lord be kind
As I'm drifting down this lonesome line
