Oh Lonesome You
Embracing Independence: Oh Lonesome You's Liberation Tale
Lyrics
You think you got me wrapped around your finger
You believe you have complete control over me.
You treat me like my mama raised a fool
You're treating me as if I were foolish, just like my mother raised a fool.
But I'll tell you how you'll feel
I will describe to you the emotions you'll experience.
When you hear my tires squeal
When you hear the screeching of my tires as I leave with someone new.
And I'm gone with somebody new
Leaving you behind, and you'll feel lonely.
It's gonna be oh lonesome you
You will be the one feeling intense loneliness.
Moaning those all-night blues
Expressing deep sadness and melancholy through nightly blues.
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
Perhaps you'll understand what it's like to be in my shoes.
When it's oh lonesome you
You'll experience the profound loneliness that I have felt.
My pride is gettin sore from being stepped on
My self-respect is suffering from being mistreated.
My heart is weak from swimming through the tears
My heart is weary from enduring emotional pain.
But my two feet are strong and it won't take 'em long
But my determination is strong, and I won't linger here for long.
Just to walk on out of here
I will swiftly leave this situation.
Then it'll be oh lonesome you
Then, you will be the one feeling intense loneliness.
Moaning those all-night blues
Expressing deep sadness and melancholy through nightly blues.
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
Maybe you'll comprehend what it feels like to be in my position.
When it's oh lonesome you
You will experience the profound loneliness that I have endured.
It's gonna be oh lonesome you
You will be the one feeling intense loneliness.
Moaning those all-night blues
Expressing deep sadness and melancholy through nightly blues.
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
Maybe you'll understand what it's like to be in my shoes.
When it's oh lonesome you
You will experience the profound loneliness that I have felt.
