[Verse 1]
So the ambulances came
They took your pulse and packed up your things
And the papers read
Some boys forget what the heartache brings
And the pounding in the streets
Was your heart in 4/4 time
And the taste of defeat
Was never too far from your mind

[Chorus]
Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
It seems like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
The years keep slipping seen the harder I try
The years keep slipping seem like every night
The years the years the years go by
The years the years the years go by

[Verse 2]
So gravity came
Stole the temple that the schoolboys praised
And the crowd shuffled in
You're getting drinks for the same boys who once bought you everything
And the powder on the bar was just this one time
The powder on the bar
Was just this one night
And just to get by
[Chorus]
Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
The years keep slipping seen the harder I try
The years keep slipping seem like every night
The years the years the years go by
The years the years the years go by

[Bridge]
There was "Southern Accents" (Southern Accents)
On the radio (on the radio)
While I drove home
"At night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet"
It's a pretty good song, baby, you know the rest
Baby, you know the rest

[Chorus]
Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
And it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
Don't it seem like there ain't nobody out there sometimes
It feels like I'm the only one who's lonely inside
And the years keep slipping seem the harder I try
The years keep slipping seem the harder I try
The years the years the years go by
The years the years the years go by
