I've been burning my bridges
   For too many years,
   Drowning the sorrow
   Of too many tears.
   Women and whiskey
   Are my only friends,
   One gives me strength,
   One just pretends.
  
   I've been waiting my whole life
   For things to work out right,
   But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights.
   Yes, I do.
  
   I've heard all the wisdom
   Of prophets and seers,
   It don't soothe my passion
   And it don't ease my fears.
   Burned by love
   And blinded by snow,
   Bad luck and trouble
   Are with me wherever I go.
  
   I've been waiting my whole life
   For things to work out right,
   But those lonely days turn into lonely nights.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   Lonely days, lonely nights.
  
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   Someday babe, it's gonna be alright.
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me.
  
   (Solo)
  
   Lonely days, lonely nights,
   Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...
