When You're A Man On Your Own

Written by Carl Perkins

They don't have words
To say how blue I'm feelin'
This ol' world can lift you up then lay ya' down
It's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When your lover's gone
This ol' town grows colder
When you're a man on your own

I keep walkin' the streets of this ol' city
Window shoppin' but I can't see a thing
Just a walkin' and a hummin'
This lonesome song
This ol' town grows colder
When you're a man on your own

O' look at them they're smilin'
They don't know I'm here
They couldn't care less
If I just up and disappeared
O' there must be a reason
Why my nights are so long
It's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When you're a man on your own

Yeah it's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When you're a man on your own
