Well here I stand on this high ground Looking out over this great big town Searching for love that didn't treat me right It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay A friend he told me that she came this way He said that he saw her by the neon lights It's a lonesome old town tonight I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars They're too far away for me to see who they are I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight It's a lonesome old town tonight Well here I stand on this high ground Looking for my baby but she can't be found The stars are out and the moon is bright It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay... Well here I stand on this high ground... It's a lonesome old town tonight
