Dr. Dog • "Lonesome" • 2012

If you’re looking for a little down home country with themes of being “Lonesome,” check out the new track from Dr. Dog. They performed it live for Philly.com’s in the Mix feature. There’s some nice guitar work on this. From the new album “Be the Void.”

What does it take to be lonesome?

Nothing at all

What does it take to be lonesome?

Nothing at all

My thoughts are wicked and rotten

My goat don't wanna be gotten

And I had my fill of the whippoorwill

When he broke into song I shot him

Leave me alone

Well the train is loaded and leaving

And the Lord only knows I don't need it

And I snub my nose when the whistle blows

But it's never enough to get even

Get out of here and leave me alone

Get out of here and leave me alone

The moon can do what he pleases

He can cry so much that he sneezes

And if a falling star falls in my yard

Well I'll pick up the pieces

Get out of here
