The Other Side of Lonesome - Lucero

A hundred miles on the other side of lonesome

A hundred miles past anything called fair

Ain’t no need to question my devotion

For the girl I love, all burdens will I bare.

Oh, sweet Mary, where’d you go?

Kissed your lips just days ago

Now it seems I’m steady wasting time.

A hundred miles of empty road

Worn out hearts and teeth of gold

Feel like I could just lay down and die

On the other side.

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl waiting for me by and by

on the other side

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl that I cannot leave behind.

A hundred miles on the other side of lonesome

A hundred miles past any kind of plan

All I know is I can drink an ocean

of whiskey if I can’t see her again.

Oh, sweet Mary, where’d you go?

Kissed your lips just days ago

Now it seems I’m steady wasting time.

A hundred miles of empty road

Worn out hearts and teeth of gold

Feel like I can just lay down and die

on the other side.

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl waiting for me by and by

on the other side

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl that I cannot leave behind.

Come on down and sit a while

I just covered a hundred miles

Think I’ll sit right here and drink my fill

Yesterday’s gone with the wind

Tomorrow’s on its way again

figure it’ll bring just what it will.

Oh, sweet Mary, where’d you go?

Kissed your lips just days ago

Now it seems I’m steady wasting time.

A hundred miles of empty road

Worn out hearts and teeth of gold

Feel like I can just lay down and die

on the other side.

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl waiting for me by and by

on the other side

Lonesome Dogtown nights

There’s a girl that I cannot leave behind
