Well hank made a living out of lonely
He sang like a freight train whistle moan
Said "youll never get out of this world alive"
As if hed always known, lord, lord
As if hed always known
Rode down that hillbilly highway
Took a big black cadillac on home
And he said "driver keep on driving
til all the lonelys gone"
til all the lonely, til all the lonely
til all the lonelys gone, gone, gone
Lets just hold on to each other
til all the lonelys gone
I told my mama, "dear sweet mama,
Im tired and weary to the bone
Just let me walk along your flowers"
Makes me wonder why I roam, lord, lord
Makes me wonder why I roam
Feed me biscuits and milk gravy
til your babys feeling strong
Well sit up picking on the front porch, yeah
til all the lonelys gone
til all the lonely, til all the lonely
til all the lonelys gone, gone, gone
Lets just hold on to each other
til all the lonelys gone
Well now jesus was praying in the garden
He never felt so all alone
They knew his suffering was over
When they rolled away the stone, lord, lord
When they rolled away the stone
On golden stairs he walked to heaven
And there hes waiting on the throne
He loves to hear his children sing and shout
til all the lonelys gone
til all the lonely, til all the lonely
til all the lonelys gone, gone, gone
Lets just hold on to each other
til all the lonelys gone
