You've been driving me mad
With your fickle womanhood
Well, you just lay in bed
And I'll make you a cup of tea
And woman, close your eyes
Forget you've met the likes of me
for lonesome women and men
I'm off on that lonesome road
and I'll never fall in love
flashing women and booze while you die
While a lonely man in the dark,
bites me a buck for some wine
Well, I jump on the midnight bus,
and I buy a ticket from Joe
I said to Joe, the conductor,
take me just as far as you go
I'm off on that lonesome road again
for lonesome women and men
Whoa, I'm off on that lonesome road
And I'll never fall in love,
I'll never fall in love again
Well, I'm ridin' Shanks's pony
Where no one sees a lonely man
Then a guy in an M .A .N. says,
I said to Al the trucker,
It sure was getting cold in that rain
for lonesome women and men
Whoa, I'm off on that lonesome road
And I'll never fall in love,
I'm off on that lonesome road again
for lonesome women and men
I'm off on that lonesome road
and I'll never fall in love,
I'll never fall in love again.
