That Lonesome Song

About That Lonesome Song

That Lonesome Song is the third studio album by American country music singer Jamey Johnson. Initially released to digital retailers in 2007 without the promotion of a record label, the album was physically released on August 5, 2008 (see 2008 in country music) via Mercury Nashville Records. Under Mercury's promotion and distribution, the album has accounted for two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The first of these, "In Color", became Johnson's first Top Ten country hit when it peaked at number 9 in early 2009. This song also earned him an Academy of Country Music award win and Grammy Award nomination. Its followup, "High Cost of Living", reached number 34 on the same chart. more »

This morning the sun made its way
Through the wind shield of my Chevrolet
Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath
On a chert rock gravel road

What the hell did I do last night
That's the story of my life
Like tryin' to remember words
To a song nobody wrote

And it's sad and its long
And can't nobody sing along
Its a southbound train
Its a whistle in the wind
Ain't nobody there to care where I been
I'm humming on that lonesome song again

I took a trip across the country, to Montgomery
Discovered I'd been wrong for so long
I thought it was a the fame and the glory and the money
But all I got to show is a damn song

And it's sad and its long
And can't nobody sing along
Its a southbound train
Its a whistle in the wind
Ain't nobody there to care where I been
I'm humming on that lonesome song again

And it's sad and its long
And can't nobody sing along
Its a southbound train
Its a whistle in the wind
Ain't nobody there to care where I been
I'm humming on that lonesome song again

That morning the sun made its way
Through the wind shield of my Chevrolet
Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath
On a chert rock gravel road
