[Verse 1]
Well, my room has got two windows
And the sunshine never comes through
You know it's all so dark and lonely
Since I broke it off girl with you

[Chorus]
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl, don't say I do
You know it's all so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry
Oh baby, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
It's a lonely avenue

[Verse 2]
Well, my sheets they feel like lead
And my pillows they feel like stone
Well, I toss and turn most every night
It's so sad to be alone

[Chorus]
I live way up, I live way up on, I live way up on, I live way up on
I live way up on a lonely avenue
I'm so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry
Oh baby, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
It's a lonely avenue
[Harmonica Solo]

[Organ Solo]

[Bridge]
You you you you you you you you you you you you
You you you you you you you you you you you you
You you you you you you you you you you you you
You you you you you you you you you you you you
You give me nothing but the blues
Nothing but the blues
Up on lonely avenue

[Verse 4]
If I can beg or borrow some money
I will have to leave this town
Hey, I don't run into that corner of mine
When I be highway bound

[Chorus]
I live up on a lonely avenue
Little girl, don't say I do
It's all so sad and blue
It's all because of you
Well, I could cry
Oh baby, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
[Organ Solo]

[Chorus]
I live up on a lonely avenue
Up on lonely avenue, baby
I'm so tired this morning
Well, I could cry
Oh, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
