Lonely Country

Have you ever you seen an eagle fly

Way above the big Montana sky

Where you can drive for miles and miles

And be the only soul out on the road

I need for nothing and I want for less

My daddy paid his dues and gave me what was left

But now his ghosts they follow me

As I try to re write history

But that bottle of whiskey can't give me the answers I've spent my life trying to find

And that bible you left me won't teach me the good things that make you a man over time

Lonely country is calling me home

But I don't want to go alone

Sun came up and then the sun went down

Only 5 miles from my hometown

Took a left around the block and saw you standing

On the front porch like you did when I was young

You tipped your hat and you welcomed me in

Time stood still you hadn't moved a thing

No embrace just a handshake

Is that the last one that I'm gonna get

Cos that bottle of whiskey can't give me the answers I've spent my life trying to find

And that bible you left me won't teach me the good things that make you a man over time

Lonely country is calling me home

And I don't want to go alone

60 years of my life that I've lived

With just one question will you answer me this

Do you remember what you did

On the day that I needed you most

Cos that bottle of whiskey can't give me the answers I've spent my life trying to find

And that bible you left me won't teach me the good things that make you a man over time

Lonely country is calling me home

But I don't want to go alone

Lonely country is calling me home

And I'll have to go alone
