How Do You Get That Lonely - Blaine Larsen


**Capo 3**



Intro:       

                                 
It was just another story printed on the second page 
                                
Underneath the Tiger's football score 
                                
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age 
                                        
They found him face down on his bedroom floor 
                                    
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home 
                                                        
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone


Chorus:
                                       
How do you get that lonely,  how do you hurt that bad 
                          
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all 
                               
Is better than the life that you had 
                                        
How do you feel so empty,     you want to let it all go 
                                     
How do you get that lonely...   and nobody knows

                                            
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun
                                     
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol
                               
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son
                                   
Did no one see the writing on the wall 
                              
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can 
                                              
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand


CHORUS
