Sure Close To Lonely Tonight lyrics

I see life from the highway
I`ve made it my home
There`s a certain kind of freedom
In just being alone
Well I`ve turned my hands to most things
As a working man must
But the dollar and the bottle
They`re all I can trust

Well they`re ain`t nothing like a sunset
Or walking in the rain
Or waking up at first light
On the dusty desert plain
There are towns I can`t remember
And friends I can`t recall
But this old heart and me
We`ve drifted through them all

And most times I`m certain
It suits me just right
But I`m sure close to lonely tonight

I`m sure close to lonely tonight
And I`m too tired to put up a fight
And if this feeling don`t kill me
Well the whiskey just might
`Cause I`m sure close to lonely tonight

Every man`s got a weakness
Baby I`ve got two
See one of them I`m drinking
And the other one is you
So pour another strong one
And I`ll drink it like a fool
`Cause you`re looking like a princess now
From this old bar stool

And it looks like you`re certain
It suits you just right
And I`m sure close to lonely tonight

Well I`m sure close to lonely tonight
And I`m too tired to put up a fight
And if this feeling don`t kill me
Well the whiskey just might
`Cause I`m sure close to lonely tonight

And I`m sure close to lonely tonight
