As lonely as these days are long
As dark as the night bird's song
This strange way of livin'
Has bled my heart dry
Im lonesome
But too stoned to cry

My clothes are ragged and worn
I'm a sailor who's lost in the worst kind of storm
The water keeps rising
But I'm gettin' by
I keep walking
But I'm too stoned to fly

Chorus:
There's whiskey and wine
And pills for the pain
Fast easy women
And a little cocaine
Im walking the line
Between hell bent and high
I ain't happy
Just too stoned to cry

I been livin' from town to town
I always been lost, ain't ever been found
They said Jesus could save me
But that was a lie
I keep tryin'
But I'm too stoned to die
I keep tryin'
But I'm too stoned to die

Chorus
