I've been burning my bridges 
For too many years, 
Drowning the sorrow 
Of too many tears 
Women and whiskey 
Are my only friends, 
One gives me strength, 
One just pretends 

I've been waiting my whole life 
For things to work out right, 
But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights 
Yes, It do 

I've heard all the wisdom 
Of prophets and seers, 
It don't soothe my passion 
And it don't ease my fears 
Burned by love 
And blinded by snow, 
Bad luck and trouble 
Are with me wherever I go 

I've been waiting my whole life 
For things to work out right, 
But those lonely days turn into lonely nights 
Lonely days, lonely nights, 
Lonely days, lonely nights 

Lonely days, lonely nights, 
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright 
Lonely days, lonely nights, 
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me 

Lonely days, lonely nights, 
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...
