John Prine
Speed of the Sound of Lonliness John Prine You come home late and you come home early You come on big when you're feeling small You come home straight and you come home curly Sometimes you don't come home at all Chorus: So what in the world's come over you And what in heaven's name have you done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness You're out there running just to be on the run Well I got a heart that burns with a fever And I got a worried and a jealous mind How can a love that'll last forever Get left so far behind Repeat Chorus: It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow It's crossed the evil line today Well, how can you ask about tomorrow We ain't got one word to say Repeat Chorus: Ending: You're out there running just to be on the run You're out there running just to be on the run You're out there running just to be on the run
