Lyrics
I'm just a poor boy from Nottingham
I come from Nottingham and have humble beginnings.
I had my dreams
I had aspirations and dreams.
But in this world they're gone, they're gone
However, those dreams seem to have disappeared in the harsh reality of the world.
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one
I feel extremely lonely by myself.
Three years on the road, 400 shows
I've spent three years on the road, performing in 400 shows.
Where do I call home?
I'm uncertain where to consider as my home.
No place to go
I don't have a specific place to go.
Where do I belong?
I'm struggling to find where I truly belong.
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one
The loneliness persists, and I feel isolated.
Every town a stranger when I'm around
Every town I visit feels unfamiliar; I am a stranger in each place.
No sins forgiven, hell spit me out
I carry my past sins, and it feels like I won't find forgiveness; life has rejected me.
Where's God, where's God?
The singer questions the presence of God in his life.
He's even left me on my one
God seems to have abandoned the singer, leaving him alone.
Where's God, where's God?
The repetition emphasizes the singer's feeling of abandonment by God.
He's even left me on my one
God's absence continues to leave the singer isolated.
I'm just a poor boy from Nottingham
A repetition of the singer's origins and dreams, suggesting a reflection on his past.
I had my dreams
Despite his dreams, they seem to have vanished in the harsh reality of the world.
But in this world they're gone, they're gone
Reiteration of the loss of dreams and the loneliness experienced by the singer.
I'm oh so lonesome on my one
The singer expresses profound loneliness once again.
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one
Reiteration of the intense loneliness the singer feels while being alone.
