I'll Take the Lonesome Every Time
Embracing the Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
Vs1)
Verse 1
There's music all around us
Expressing the presence of music in the surroundings
You can hear it if you listen close
Encouraging attentive listening to perceive the music
The kind that makes an ol' heart ache is the kind that I love most
Preferring music that evokes a sense of heartache
Well, you can call me crazy
Acknowledging a potential perception of eccentricity
But if I get to choose
Expressing the desire to have a choice in the type of music
It ain't worth a dime to me if it ain't sad and blue
Assigning value to music that is melancholic and sorrowful
CH)
Chorus
It's the sound a freight train whistle traveling through the night
Describing the preferred sound resembling a freight train whistle at night
Or the cry of a Carolina timber wolf howling in the pale moonlight
Illustrating the appeal of a Carolina timber wolf's cry in moonlight
It's the mournful voice of an angry wind blowing through the Georgia pine
Portraying the mournful voice of the wind through a Georgia pine
When it comes to the way I'm feeling
Connecting emotions to the described sounds
I'll Take The Lonesome Every time
Reiterating a preference for loneliness in feelings
I'll Take The Lonesome Every time
Repeating the inclination towards loneliness

Verse 2
I know Hank Williams heard
Referring to the recognition of the described music by Hank Williams
It in the silence of a fallen star
Associating the music with the silence of a fallen star
And Carter Stanley sung it when he picked up his guitar
Mentioning Carter Stanley's connection to the described music through his guitar
I bet Robert Johnson felt it
Suggesting that Robert Johnson experienced the described feeling
Cause he played it loud and clear
Highlighting the clarity of the emotion when expressed by Robert Johnson
Every time I hear em man, it's music to my ears..like
Expressing personal enjoyment and connection to the described music
