I'm a man, like any man
Take my chances, play my hand
I use bad luck to keep me strong
I need good luck to keep me hanging on

Lonesome Guitar take me home
I will never be alone
Lonesome Guitar take me home
Now my home is on the road

It's a long black ribbon
It's a long hard ride
She's allways on my mind
All the roads I have followed
All the shows I have played
Never know 'till tommorow
Where I'll be today

Lonesome Guitar take me home
I will never be alone
Lonesome Guitar take me home
Now my home is on the road

People still remember
In another day
Battle of the union
And the Rebel gray
How they burnt Atlanta
Drove her down to the sea
You can never drive, drive that memory out of me

Lonesome Guitar take me home
I will never be alone
Lonesome Guitar take me home
Now my home is on the road

Lonesome Guitar take me home
Lonesome Guitar take me home
Lonesome Guitar take me home
Lonesome Guitar take me home
