Back on my own again I just can't win I'm all alone again Without a friend I've tried everything Except to lose my will But all this wanderin' Leaves me lonesome still I've travelled every way Far as you can go But all I've got are memories In my lonesome soul I loved more than once And broke the hearts of a few I'm on my own again Lord, what can I do? Back on my own again I just can't win I'm all alone again Without a friend I've tried everything Except to lose my will But all this wanderin' Leaves me lonesome still Once I tried to stay In my woman's arms But I had to run away In case I done her harm 'Cause I know what I am And I've had my fail I never could give a damn Now I'm lonesome still Back on my own again I just can't win I'm all alone again Without a friend I've tried everything Except to lose my will But all this wanderin' Leaves me lonesome still
