[Verse 1]
G C G C
It's a long stretch of highway, at midnight in New Mexico
G C D
It's a small colored light, that shines from your car radio
C G
It's the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot
C D
And gives you the very last cup from his pot
G C G C
It's a lonely feeling, it's what you've got,
G C D G C
It's a lonely feeling, like it or not

[Verse 2]
G C G C
It's the crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone
G C D
It's someone's recorder when you're hoping someone is home
C G
It's an hour to kill to do what you please
C D
But nobody's up for shooting the breeze
G C G C
It's a lonely feeling, it's like a disease
G C D G C
It's a lonely feeling, you pray that it leaves

[Verse 3]
G C G C
It's three men from Chile who are tired and they want to go home
G C D
They've run out of money and they're stuck up in east Oregon
C G
So you give 'em the small bit of change in your hand
C D
You try to speak Spanish but they don't understand
G C G C
It's a lonely feeling, it gets to a man
G C D G C
It's a lonely feeling that runs through the land

[Verse 4]
G C G C
It's your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well
G C D
You try to break through but you've run out of stories to tell
C G
So you bid him goodbye and step into space
C D
There's so many questions that you cannot face
G C G C
It's a lonely feeling, taking his place
G C D G C
It's a lonely feeling you just can't erase

[Break]
