I´m coming home, needing attention
Breaking down, I need some rest
I´m like a man from the third dimension
This way of life put me to the test

I used to be a drummer man
Kept it in the groove
Then I had a change of heart
Started singing the blues

That´s what I choose
Leaving me high lonesome blue

Time moves on I´m riding with it
There´s no choice, it´s out of my hands
This is my way and I won´t quit it
Fragile, like a rope of sand

There´s a place high on a mountain
Where I go to find relief
Get my feet back on the ground
Set my spirit free

Put on my walking shoes
Got the high lonesome blue

There´s nothing left to prove
High lonesome blue
