[Verse 1]
Nobody writes goodbye notes
And takes off to God-only-knows on trains anymore
And to tell you the truth
I don't really see much use in walking the floor

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Old songs make it sound so cool
To be a half-drunk heartbroke fool
When that fool is you, it's not

[Chorus]
And the only way this heartache
Is like an old Hank Williams song
Is the lonely, the lonesome, and the gone

[Verse 2]
There's a place down by the mall
But it ain't what you'd call a honky tonk
They got a new jukebox
Filled up with country rock
'Cause that's what folks want

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't know why no one sings about
Drowning in pitchers and half-priced wings
And trying to wish back everything they lost
[Chorus]
Yeah the only way this heartache
Is like an old Hank Williams song
Is the lonely, the lonesome, and the gone

[Pre-Chorus 3]
He never sang about watching a Camry pulling out
Of a crowded apartment parking lot

[Chorus]
But I guess in some ways every heartache
Is like an old Hank Williams song
There's the lonely, the lonesome, and the gone
There's the lonely, the lonesome, and the gone
