Lonesome, On' ry And Mean
Words and Music by: Stephen T. Young
Performed by: Waylon Jennings (1973)
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

On a Greyhound bus,
One I'm trav'lin' this morning;
I'm going to Shreveport
And on to New Orleans.
Been trav'lin' these highways,
And doin' things my way.
It's been makin' me
Lonesome, on'ry and mean.

Now her hair was jet black,
And her name was Bodine.
She thought she was the cream,
Of the Basin Street Queens.
But she got tired of that
Smokey-wine dream,
She began to feel
Lonesome, on'ry and mean.

We got together,
And we cashed in our sweeps.
Gave em' to a beggar
Who was mumblin' through the streets.
There's no escaping
From his snowy white dream,
On'ry and lonesome, on'ry and mean.

Now I'm down in the valley,
Where the wheels turn so low,
At dawn I pray, to the Lord of my soul.
I say, do Lord, do right by me.
You know, I'm tired of being
Lonesome, on'ry and mean.
