CHORUS
Nobody knows, everybody knows
It's lonesome everywhere I go
Nobody knows, everybody knows
It's lonesome everywhere I go
We'll never be the same as we were before
Time moves only one old way
Yes we're moving on
Some of us are gone
That's lonesome every single day
CHORUS
Where can we go
When we're tired of being alone
Tired of always being apart
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
Carrying a tired and broken heart
CHORUS
I don't know just who
Or what you have been through
You don't know the heartache that is mine
Lonesome, dark and lonesome
Let the light shine a little at a time
CHORUS

Me and my friend, we've got a date
Saturday night and we won't be late
Gonna tune in our favorite show
Gonna listen to the radio
I haven't seen anybody in a while
Stuck inside is not my style
I wanna go out but I just can't go
Guess I'll turn on the radio
CHORUS
Radio, radio, buttons or dial
Tune me in for a little while
Make me cry or make me smile
The sound of the radio
When I need the sound of a human voice
Talking or singing or giving advice
Telling me something I don’t know
It's there on the radio
There's a show I've never heard before
A surprise that's waiting like an open door
Learn something new, hear something old
Turn the dial on that radio
CHORUS
Before the podcast …
or archived show …
there was always the radio
When I close my eyes as the darkness deepens
Someone to read me a story to sleep
A voice to lull me ‘til I fall
Oh, me and the radio
Just lonesome ol' me and the radio
Me and the radio

This Old Lonesome Song
04:18
|

|
If I had a nickel
A wishbone and a dime
If I had a dollar
Every time you cross my mind
The days are cold and cloudy
And I know we need the rain
These dark days seem to match my mood
And a heart so full of pain
It's comin' up on a year now
A year since you've been gone
If I'm marking time it's just
This is a lonesome song x2
CHORUS
Oh, a lonesome song
It's a lonesome song
The only thing feels right to sing
Is this old lonesome song
I’ve been walking in the sunshine
Walking places we have been
I’d like to see that big ol’ tree
You once called your friend
I cannot walk beside you
Can’t walk you home again
Without you here by my side
I’m walking out the pain
All this lonesome pain
CHORUS
Worn just like a pebble
Metal polished to a shine
We all become just what we are
By the ravages of time
By the privilege of time
CHORUS

Never Been So Lonesome
02:10

Miss those things we used to do
We lost the life that we once knew
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
The moon has even lost its glow
The sun don’t shine anymore
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
CHORUS
Now our old life is gone
And there’s nothing to be done
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
I’ve paced the hall and walked the floor
Barely stepped outside my door
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
I’ve heard that lonesome whistle blow
Seen lonesome midnights come and go
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
Seen days I thought would never end
With blues creeping in
I’ve never been so lonesome in my life
CHORUS

CHORUS
River gonna rise, sun’s gonna shine
We’ll be so dry we’re gonna drink wine
Dust gonna fly right into your eye
Then the river gonna rise again
Twenty five is a lot of chickens
Twenty five chickens is a lot of eggs
I can’t eat more than 5 a day
I’d better make some friends
Twenty five friends is a way too many
Can’t talk close with all or any
Better have a party with my best pal, Jenny
‘Til the river rises again
CHORUS
I only ever call to ask for favors
She’s gonna get mad and I can’t blame her
I never intended to try and save her
I just needed a friend
Is a friend in need indeed a friend?
Will they still be there at the river's end?
When the world's run down and the money's spent
Who's gonna hold your hand?
CHORUS
They started as tiny chicks in the basement
Chirped all night, a baby chicken's lament
They're big and fluffy and the color of lemons
Gonna be a lot of eggs
CHORUS

The Weather Song
03:49
|

The weatherman says, “It's gonna be a hot one
Temperature's rising, it's windy, there's a drought"
Oh, ice cubes and sun hats and staying in the shade
But where will we go at the end of the day?
Turn off all the TVs and go down to the river
The river's run dry, there's thirsty little critters
Go home and go down to the basement where it's cooler
Big wind might just blow us away
CHORUS
We're gonna drive out to the ocean
And maybe then we'll keep going
It's hot, and it's only gonna get hotter
What's gonna become of us?
Oh, the wind and ashes, and sparks all together
We're gonna keep trying to figure out the weather
Get a sweater and your waders, your masks and your goggles
Then get in the car, drive to the bay
Remember that time the animals went crazy?
Bats in the parlor and the birds all stopped singing
A wild eyed buck deer came thundering down the pathway
And the crickets were screaming all through the night
Then the fog rolled in and we all started laughing
The billows of cool air just kept on rolling
Great pillow-y clouds filled the horizon
And we knew we were gonna be okay
CHORUS

I’m gonna miss this house
All these stairs and dusty corners
Sunlight on the wood floors
Trees through all the windows
The way it creaks when the wind blows
I’m gonna miss this house
I’m gonna miss this house
The way the full moon always shines
Just like a headlight through the bedroom
Trains and foghorns in the night time
Raindrops falling on the branches
I’m gonna miss this house
I’m gonna miss this house
All the crazy dinner parties
Music late into the night
Singing love songs in the kitchen
Memories in every corner
I'm gonna miss this house
I'm gonna miss this house
