Well, I've been tom-cattin' 
For such a long time now 
Runnin' into open arms 
Just to walk right out 
But all that I'd needed 
Just don't get it anymore 
That this cold and lonesome feelin' 
Has got to go 

There's this, here, one lady 
Keeps on comin' around 
And I'm thinkin' that, maybe 
This is love we've found 
She said she could save me 
There's no real way to know 
But this cold and lonesome feelin' 
Has got to go 

Well, that one-time woman 
Gave her all my love 
Thought for sure she was satisfied 
But then the changes came 
And run on the rain 
And my sun refused to shine 

Woman, hold me near 
Listen here 
I got to love you one more time 
If it is the same 
There won't be no rain 
We'll just move on down the line 

Yes, this road keeps rollin' 
And, darlin', I must, too 
Only wish I was callin' 
Nobody else but you 
You can read it in my letters 
You can hear it on the phone 
That this cold and lonesome feelin' 
Has got to go 

Yes, this cold and lonesome feelin' 
Has got to go 
Gotta go
