Where were you, when I was on the line?
playing truth or dare with a tortured mind
where were you, when I took a fall?
and the summer rain brought a chain and ball
where were you, when I got the news?
I was really gonna have to sing the blues
where were you, when I couldn't sleep?
'cause the devil killed all my counting sheep

stop, don't start, baby I'm doing fine
I'm so lonely
I'm shacked up with a view of the pines
I'm so lonely
all my songs just keep comin' out
I'm so lonely
though you're gone, and it's hard here without you
I'm damned and devout like I wanted to be

where were you, when I phoned a friend?
as our rock and roll tumbled to an end
where were you, when your lucky star
couldn't stand alone in a local bar?
where were you, when I hit the wall?
trying to kill the pain with a tylenol
where were you, when I lost my love?
'cause it rained on one I was sinking on

stop, don't start, baby I'm doing fine
I'm so lonely
I'm shacked up with a view of the pines
I'm so lonely
all my songs just keep comin' out
I'm so lonely
though you're gone, and it's hard here without you
I'm damned and devout like I wanted to be

stop, don't start, baby I'm doing fine
I'm so lonely
I'm shacked up with a view of the pines
I'm so lonely
all my songs just keep comin' out
I'm so lonely
though you're gone, and it's hard here without you
I'm damned and devout like I wanted to be
