Lonely Tonight Songtext
von Kip Moore

I was way down south some border town
Where Texas and Louisiana meet
Was a young gun for hire, that night was on fire
Could′ve been me or just the heat
Me or just the heat

Between the whiskey and coke, thick cigarette smoke
Her perfume cut through the air
She lowered her eyes, couldn't normalize
The beauty in long dark hair

And I played that guitar with all of my heart
I could feel the sweat drippin′ from the strings
She shot me a smile, little lonely but wild
For a second I felt like a king
Felt like a king

When the bar shut down, I bought us a round
Two whiskeys' bottom shelves
When the last sip was gone
She said, "I know it might be wrong
But boy, I can't help myself"


And she said, "Baby
Don′t want to be lonely tonight
Been strong for so long
The strength in me is gone
It′s time to let go of this fight"

Now I know two wrongs
Holdin' on to dawn
Ain′t goin' to make it alright
But she said, "Baby"
Don′t want to be lonely tonight"

You can say goodbye when the dawn arrives
We knew you were destined to go
I won't complicate these emotions at stake
There′s nothin' I need to know

She said, "I know the truth with a guy like you
So, baby, tell me no lies
Just lay me down and kiss me soft now
Like everythin' I said wasn′t true"

And she said, "Baby
Don′t want to be lonely tonight
Been strong for so long
The strength in me is gone
It's time to let go of this fight"


Now I know two wrongs
Holdin′ on to dawn
Ain't goin′ to make it alright
But she said, "Baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight"

Well, that sun came fast
And her gettin′ dressed casts a shadow I still see now
And I can hear her try to tell me goodbye
But she smiled and just laid back down

And I said, "Baby
Don't want to be lonely tonight"
Don't want to be lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Lonely, lonely, lonely
