I grew up in the dusty plains
Not much grows not much change
Everybody here knows everybody's name
And you rarely meet someone new
Don't know what it something bout the moon
Got me all wound up and feeling blue
Might go down to the bar cut a little bit loose
To help me get over you
Cause I don't wanna be lonely tonight
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
You've taken up my thoughts for the last time
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Most nights out it's just me and the boys
Grabbin' some beers after doing our chorin
If I got my blues, got my Jones
On the jukebox I'm alright
This time out Mikey brought his cousin
She just moved to town after leavin' her husband
Looked like she could use a little bit of lovin
So I obliged
She said I don't wanna be lonely tonight
No I don't wanna be lonely tonight
He's taken up all my precious time
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Couple weeks back we had a good time
I never called cause my foolish pride
Gets in the way every single time I fall
Here we go Finally drove by her house knocked on the door
Six pack of beer and a flower from her porch
Girl I can't stop thinkin' bout you and maybe you feel it too
Ahh maybe just maybe just maybe
You don't wanna be lonely tonight
You don't wanna be lonely tonight
Wanna take you by the hand and dance all night
Cause I don't wanna be lonely tonight
No I don't wanna be lonely tonight
