Lonesome Standard Time

Do you feel a kindred spirit to the sound of pourin’ rain

Does your heart start to yearnin’ when you hear a distant train

If you’d like to take that train and ride someone left behind

You don’t need the wind to tell ya

you’re on lonesome standard time

Do you set alone and think about an old love from the past

Do you feel a bit more empty every time you raise your glass

If the memory of her kisses sends a shiver up your spine

You don’t need a watch to tell ya

You’re on lonesome standard time

Chorus:

Now when you hear them old sad songs do you hang on every word

Do you swear a cryin fiddle is the sweetest sound on earth

If you shudder at the music of a hoot owl in the pines

You’re on lonesome standard time

Well there’s a bigger clock a tickin’, it crosses every zone

The first time your old heart broke was the time you turned it on

It don’t never need a windin’, cause if it works like mine

There ain’t no doubt about it

You’re on lonesome standard time

Chorus:

Now when you hear them old sad songs do you hang on every word…

Repeat last two lines of chorus
