On the High Lonesome Chris Whitley

Sometimes, just sometimes
I seem to get on the high lonesome
And if you don't know what the high lonesome is
Just take my advice
And don't ever get on it

The high lonesome eats at you
All the time
All the time

Now living with a woman
Can nag at you all the time
We keep tossing shit back and forth
We toss that shit back and forth

Me one night
With the high lonesome
Her the next
With the high lonesome

I always wondered what the high lonеsome was
Till it caught me upside thе head
Then I knew
Then I knew

How does the high lonesome work? Well, I tell you
She gets to wanting to make love to me, then I get sore
Then when I want to hug her up a little bit
She's gets a-sore at me
When one of us felt like loving it up a little
It made the other one sore
