Description
A classic country ballad, inspired by Beck's "Sea Change" album, which if you haven't heard it, is genius. I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, so I have a bit of the south in my blood. When I get around folks from below the Mason Dixon my drawl comes back in about 5 minutes. Fun fact: My only radio appearance (that I know of): I performed with a band called Little Debbie and the Grits on NPR once from Interlochen Music School in Michigan one summer. Apart from the drum loops, everything else is me.

Lyrics
Lonesome
© 2006 Philip VanDusen
Turn off the neon
As the rain comes in sheets
Turn off the gas pumps
And the sign that says “Eats”
Headlights reflecting on the lines on the road
Ten miles behind him
And a thousand to go
She married a Teamster
Who lives by a code
He’s loaded with lonesome
And he carries it home
Fog drifting down
From Fallen Bear Ridge
Bluebells and moonlight
Cover the bridge
Smells grits and gravy
And a bottomless cup
At the end of this run
Is the woman he loves
He calls himself “Lucky”
He’s a king of the road
Who’s loaded with lonesome
And he carries it home
