The Loneliest I've Ever Been (feat. John Macy, Jeff Franca, Joe Tatton, Pete Shand & Eddie Roberts)

I've driven 10 straight hours in the middle of the night Me and the AM radio, and not a soul in sight Everyone I know is begging me to change my ways Spent all me money getting high in a motel room So I climbed the mountain top and howled at the moon And I'd do it all again instead of being stuck with you Because the loneliest that I've ever been The loneliest I've ever been Is trying to love someone that just won't listen My woman left me for my best friend Living in a commune in Oregon I took my beater down to live by the river for a month or two Headed down to a flop house in New Orleans Didn't have any company Except for the rats and the bullet holes where the light shined through But the loneliest that I've ever been The loneliest I've ever been Is trying to love someone that just won't listen Sometimes I wonder why I ever talk at all I might be better understood just talking to the walls I couldn't find a job I was qualified to do No one to call for reference I know how it feels when the truth doesn't favor your preference I finally broke down and put my my knees on the ground Begged the Lord above for answers out loud And the only sound I could hear was the howlin' wind But the loneliest that I've ever been The loneliest I've ever been Is trying to love someone that just won't listen Baby, I just can't keep trying It don't matter to you if I'm telling the truth or lying Lonely Trying to love someone that just won't listen
