That Kind of Lonely
Echoes of Solitude: Johnny Reid's Emotionally Raw Ballad
Lyrics
Sitting in a hotel, all by myself
Sitting alone in a hotel room with only my guitar for company.
Me and my six string, no one else
Isolating myself, focusing on playing music without any other presence.
Strumming to the rhythm of the rain outside
Playing my guitar in sync with the rain's rhythm outside.
