x2
Twenty seven days Ive been out on the road
Im a nervous wreck I gotta get back home
Theres a young bride waiting for me all alone
Lord how she misses me
I can see her sittin in the kitchen chair
In a cotton dress with her long black hair
But a woman aint pretty if a man aint there
Like I cant afford to be
Its a shame its a shame
She wont be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound
Shes the hottest thing for miles around
All them other boys in our hometown
Got tricks hid up their sleeves
Now it aint her that I dont trust
Shes pretty and pure as diamond dust
But lonesome is this lonesome girl
She cant help what she needs
Its a shame its a shame
She wont be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
The heart of a lonely girl
The heart of a lonely girl
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
Solo: (same as chorus)x2
Daddy was a rambler just like me
I guess the apple dont fall too far from the tree
When I ask why momma had to Go that day
Well he dont know and she wont say
Its a shame its a shame
She wont be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
Its a shame its a shame
She wont be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
