Lonesome Road Blues Lyrics

I don't need your constant heartache
All I have is my guitar and you
I turned thirty one years old today
All you gave me was that store bought blues

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me

I long for those days of simple times
Day's when guitar strings a cost a dime
I'm the only one for you there is
Help me down baby , hell that is yeah

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Mmm mmmmm

I sold my soul for a pack of cigarettes yeah!
Mississippi is where I think my best
My string is crazy , I keep her sane
After me baby there's no one to blame

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Like a devil race car baby
These ol' blues comfort me yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
