[Verse 1]
I’m drifting like a tumbleweed across this lonesome land
In a rusty roller coaster through the desert sands
Clinging to a cardboard sign saying “I could use a friend”
I’m drifting like a tumbleweed across this desert land

[Verse 2]
The shadows of my brighter days in the sinking sun
The darkness fills around me and I let it get me drunk
Through bloodshot eyes I fight back the tears and what I have become
I see the shadow of my brighter days against the sinking sun

[Chorus]
If I was the moon, I’d shine down where you are
And if I was the sun, I would burn up all the shooting stars
I’ve wished upon and wished upon from this old boxcar
Lonesome’s hard on a lonesome heart

[Verse 3]
And if I was a penny, I’d be laid upon this track
And if I was a trestle, this load I hold would break my back
And if I was a railroad tie, I'd be split in half
And if I was a penny, I’d be laid upon this track

[Chorus]
If I was the moon, I’d shine down where you are
And if I was the sun, I would burn up all the shooting stars
I’ve wished upon and wished upon from this old boxcar
Lonesome’s hard on a lonesome heart
[Chorus]
If I was the moon, I’d shine down where you are
And if I was the sun, I would burn up all the shooting stars
I’ve wished upon and wished upon from this old boxcar
Lonesome’s hard when you’re torn apart
Lonesome heart
