10. LONELY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN
Bill Rhoads 1997

Lord, I woke up to a Post-It Note
Stuck on the coffee pot
Said " You might think I'm comin' back
But bet your heart that I'm not"
Lord, I jumped and screamed and hollered,
So glad that woman's fin'lly gone
My mind was celebratin'
But lonely has a mind of its own

Chorus
Yeah, lonely has a mind of its own
It'll hold you down and hurt you all night long
Hey, I had in mind some party time
As soon as she moved on
But lonely has a mind of its own

Well, I went on down to Smokey Joe's
To look up my old friends
Joe said they left a year ago
And won't be back again
Guess I could have found some new friends
But I just turned and headed home
My mind said I'll forget her
But lonely has a mind of its own
