Twenty seven days Iâve been out on the road,
Iâm a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home.
Thereâs a young bride waiting for me all alone
Lord, how she misses me.
I can see her sittinâ in the kitchen chair
In a cotton dress with her long black hair.
But a woman ainât pretty if a man ainât there,
That I canât afford to be.
Itâs a shame, itâs a shame
She wonât 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,
Sheâs the hottest thing for miles around.
All them other boys in our hometown,
Got tricks hid up their sleeves.
Now it ainât her that I donât trust,
Sheâs pretty and pure as diamond dust.
But lonesome is this lonesome girl
She canât help for what she needs.
Itâs a shame, itâs a shame
She wonât 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.
Itâs the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
The heart of a lonely girl.
Daddy was a rambler just like me,
I guess the apple donât fall too far from the tree.
When I ask why momma had to go that day,
Well he donât know and she wonât say.
Itâs a shame, itâs a shame
She wonât be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
Yeah, itâs a shame, itâs a shame
She wonât be the one to blame
Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
