I'm knockin' back a bottle that's what I do Tippin' in some brown, drinkin' it down And actin' like a low class clown, that's what I do I got up early this morning maybe never went to sleep I got into the whiskey baby I'm tellin you I got in and I got in deep Ain't nobody here to tell me gotta change my ways Ain't no one around for a while babe ain't been anyone here for a coupla days I'm knockin' back a bottle that's what I do Tippin' in some brown, drinkin' it down And actin' like a low class clown, that's what I do Some folks got jobs to go to in their suits and ties That might sound good for you and yours but it sure don't for me and mine If you ever wanna see me come and knock at my door I'll let you in I'll give you a kiss if I can get up off the floor I'm knockin' back a bottle that's what I do Tippin' in the brown, drinkin' it down And actin' like a low class clown, that's what I do

We always came around this old playground On a Sunday morning walking hand in hand Underneath this tree that's where you told me You wanted me to be your lovin man Why did I come here? What a silly thing to do Now I'm swinging on a swing and missing you When you told me you found another I begged you to remember this playground tree You cried one tear then you left me here Lonely as this playground in January Why did I come here? What a silly thing to do Now I'm swinging on a swing and missing you

Each day turns into night and I'm sad and lonely The soundtrack to my life stars one trombone My friends shake their heads when they talk about me What they're saying is awfully over-blown They have some crazy misconceptions They say my name in a disapproving tone They whisper "ain't you heard he's off the deep end? Spends every night at home drinkin alone" Well I ain't drinkin' alone that much is clear Don't go spreadin lies and rumors both far and near Call a spade a spade and call a deer a deer I ain't drinkin' alone I'm drinkin' a beer Well I ain't drinkin' alone that much is clear Don't spread lies and rumors as if I won't hear Call a spade a spade and call a deer a deer I ain't drinkin' alone I'm drinkin' a beer

I'm in a dilly of a whale of a great big gale of loneliness Out to sea in the weeds under lock and key of one and onliness All I hear from the morning to the noon to the night is sigh and moanliness I'm in a dilly of a whale of a great big gale of loneliness On the days I wake up and get outta bed Woe is me is all that rattles around my head Figurin I oughta just go back to sleep instead And those are the days I even get out of bed I'm in a dilly of a whale of a great big gale of loneliness Out to sea in the weeds under lock and key of one and onliness All I hear from the morning to the noon to the night is sigh and moanliness I'm in a dilly of a whale of a great big gale of loneliness Well I ain't never been too good with women it's true But I'm an expert at letting them make me sad and blue I'm stuck here with a one wishing it was a two But I ain't never been too good with women it's true All I hear from the morning to the noon to the night is sigh and moanliness I'm in a dilly of a pickle of whale of a wind filled sail of a great big gale of loneliness

Every year I close another lonely chapter Turn the page though I know every word that's gonna come after On New Year's Day when I wake up alone I resolve this is the year I'll find someone But like the sun settin in the west I'm always a lonely mess And I always break my New Year's Resolution I always break my New Year's Resolution Must be a law they put in the constitution Since I always fail I found a new solution One more year of loneliness that's my New Year's Resolution

I want a broken heart with no chance of repair I want to long for her touch I want to cry cause she's not there If she's gonna leave me lonesome If she's gonna break my heart First I have to find her, that's a pretty good way to start I tell my friends who are crying I wanna walk in their shoes Tell em they're so so lucky For feelin so so blue They look at me like I'm crazy Like I've lost my mind But you can never feel lost love If love you never find So I want a broken heart with no chance of repair I want to long for her touch I want to cry cause she's not there If she's gonna leave me lonesome If she's gonna break my heart First I have to find her, that's a pretty good way to start

Lonely Town 04:15
I'm leavin town, I gotta get away Been living in lonely town wish I could leave today I won't say my goodbyes I'll just be on my way No one here in lonely town to say goodbye to anyway Cause I'm too lonely for this town in which I've been living I'm too lonely to keep on keepin on with what I've been given I'm lonelier than a captain when all his crew has drowned I'm so so lonely living in lonely town And with that first step down the road I'll be on my way to feelin free Free from this lonely town and the lonely walls I built up around lonely me I will not send a postcard I will not spend a dime When I'm out of lonely town I'm leavin it behind Cause I'm too lonely for this town in which I've been living I'm too lonely to keep on keepin on with what I've been given I'm lonelier than a redwood that falls without a sound I'm so so lonely living in lonely town I never should have moved here it's got such a lonely name What was I expecting? I have only me to blame

Goddamn it I'm so lonely Jesus Christ I feel so blue And I'm holdin on to holdin out for hope that I can make it through Make it through another night Another night without you Goddamn it I'm so lonely When you took my heart and you took my pride You shoulda took my loneliness too I stopped my clock the night you left If that was all the time we had I didn't wanna waste the rest You left me nothin, now nothin's all I got Nothing but my loneliness so thanks for that baby thanks a lot Goddamn it I'm so lonely Jesus Christ I feel so blue And I'm holdin on to holdin out for hope that I can make it through Make it through another night Another night without you Goddamn it I'm so lonely When you took my heart and you took my pride You shoulda took my loneliness too Used to have a TV and a VCR Used to have a microwave a coffee pot and a V8 car But those are things and I don't need much But the one thing that I wish that you'd have took from me is the one thing you just won't touch

about

Loneliness. Ditch found himself particularly lonely last December. Alone. By himself. So very, very alone. In three days, he wrote a dozen or so songs about this crippling loneliness and, in a very lonely manner, committed them to tape. Sometimes to battle loneliness you just have to shout: Goddamn It I'm So Lonely.
