High And Lonesome

Always had something to prove, nothing that I wouldn't do

To chase down what I thought was mine

They all say I'm doing well, killin' it, so what the hell

I'll keep pretendin' I'm fine

I used to get off on the glory

But now it ain't doin' it for me

But, Lord, ain't it fun bein' second to none?

And don't it feel free that close to the sun?

At least that's what I thought 'til I got all I wanted and then some

So fly, baby, fly, but what good is high if you're lonesome?

I got a lot to show, it's true, but nobody to show it to

And you start to wonder what the point is

Sugar-coated words are nice, but they don't keep you warm at night

So you take one more shot of the poison

'Cause, Lord, ain't it fun bein' second to none?

And don't it feel free that close to the sun?

At least that's what I thought 'til I got all I wanted and then some

So fly, baby, fly, but what good is high if you're lonesome?

High and lonesome

If you're gonna get high, don't come down

You can't get back what you had on the ground

If you're gonna get high, don't come down

You can't get back what you had

Lord, ain't it fun bein' second to none?

And don't it feel free that close to the sun?

At least that's what I thought 'til I got all I wanted and then some

So fly, baby, fly, but what good is high, fly, baby, fly, but what good is high

Fly, baby, fly, but what good is high if you're lonesome?
