Like the leaves I get restless I just can't seem to settle down When the autumn wind blows, it cuts right to my soul And pulls my roots out of the ground Lonesome why do you love me you won't leave me Why can't we ever be apart Just when love finds me your chains they bind me Forever shackled to your heart Lonesome why do you love me Rain ain't fallin on my windshield But there's tears in my rearview Nature's dyin I know behind she's cryin Why do we leave them sad and blue You won't leave me Why do you love me You won't let me be won't set me free Lonesome why do you love me
