Higher Lonesome Willi Carlisle

Higher Lonesome - Willi Carlisle
[Verse 1]
Turned around in Tidewater or all alone in Pueblo
I been drivin' with a death wish down the mountains on my phone
Half the places I've been might be laced with psilocybin
I've been dreaming of a country I saw at the rodeo
Packed a bowl in the Bojangles 'cause Tennessee's so cold
Charlottesville by sundown's a nightmare to behold
There's an old-time dame with a twisty name, I couldn't read it if she wrote it
She's got a black powder revolver, wants to see if it's still loaded

[Chorus]
I've been called by a higher lonesome than low as low can be
You can write it on my tombstone, outlaw life looks pretty wholesome
When you pay the price in foolishness it takes to get you free
Higher lonesome killed the bitter parts of me

[Verse 2]
Co-dependents, SLA, and AL-Anon, They all know how I felt for you
I felt it in my guts before two steps in Philadelphia
With every coin the joiners get, they're farther from the pain of it
With all the hurting that we did, it's a shame no coin'll pay for it
I think I fell in love again on a walk in city park
Jodorowsky on the tiny screen and zigzags in the dark
And I figured I should let it go, or give it a couple days
It's a ton of bricks in Minneapolis, she don't know my last name
