CHORUS: 
I love being lonesome, but I don't like being lonely 
I wake up in the morning and there's no one lying 
beside me 
I love em and leave em so I'll never find my one and 
only 
I love being lonesome but I don't like being lonely 

VERSE: 
I'm a rider on a wild horse in the canyon running 
through the night 
I love that I have freedom in my soul and the way I 
live my life 
But even cowboys need a lady's soft touch to help us 
settle down 
But I love to hear the music in my heart and the way 
the highway sounds 

CHORUS: 
I love being lonesome, but I don't like being lonely 
I wake up in the morning and there's no one lying 
beside me 
I love em and leave em so I'll never find my one and 
only 
I love being lonesome but I don't like being lonely 

I've tried and tried a thousnad times to make it work 
but I don't understand 
The difference in the feelings of a woman and the 
feelings of a man 
I run away each time I get a chance to fall in love and 
it just kills me 
I need to find a lover I can trust a woman who can heal 
me 

I love being lonesome, but I don't like being lonely 
I wake up in the morning and there's no one lying 
beside me 
I love em and leave em so I'll never find my one and 
only 
I love being lonesome but I don't like being lonely
