Fool on a Lonesome Road

Intro

(Yeah) Kickin' dust on this two-lane blacktop

Headlights cuttin' through the midnight fog

Verse

Sittin' shotgun's empty, bottle ridin' low

Radio's spinnin' our old favorite show

That porch swing creakin' where we carved our names

Now it's just the wind callin' out your name

Tailgate down, stars hangin' heavy overhead

Wishin' I could turn back time instead

Chorus

Oh, darlin', why'd you have to go?

Leavin' me with nothin' but this heartache glow

Boots on the dash, beer in my hand

Runnin' from the truth in this beat-up van

Yeah, darlin', why'd you have to go?

(Go, go) Takin' all the good with the flow

Now I'm just a fool on a lonesome road

Verse

Friday nights at the county fair

Cotton candy kisses in the cool night air

Your laugh like thunder rollin' through the pines

Dancin' in the dirt till closin' time

Faded blue jeans, that sundress sway

Lord, I miss those simple yesterday

Chorus

Oh, darlin', why'd you have to go?

Leavin' me with nothin' but this heartache glow

Boots on the dash, beer in my hand

Runnin' from the truth in this beat-up van

Yeah, darlin', why'd you have to go?

(Go, go) Takin' all the good with the flow

Now I'm just a fool on a lonesome road

Bridge

Maybe one day I'll find my way back home

Trade this whiskey for a love that's known

Till then I'll drive these backroads blind

Chasin' taillights of what I left behind

Chorus

Oh, darlin', why'd you have to go?

Leavin' me with nothin' but this heartache glow

Boots on the dash, beer in my hand

Runnin' from the truth in this beat-up van

Yeah, darlin', why'd you have to go?

(Go, go) Takin' all the good with the flow

Now I'm just a fool on a lonesome road

Outro

Yeah, just a fool... on a lonesome road

(Mm-hmm) Fade out slow
