Lonesome Lyrics

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.
Get out of here.
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothin' at all.

Well the train is loaded and leavin.
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.
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,
I'll pick up the pieces.

Get out of here.
What does it take to be lonesome?
Nothin' at all.

Anyone know what's said in the beginning?

@RolandDeschain I think he says "One, Two, Somebody pop the clutch"

@RolandDeschain 3,2, somebody start the chorus

I think this song has to do with when you're feeling bitter and wants to be alone so he can't hurt someone's feelings (Or possily even hurt them physically). People are trying to help not realizing they're doing more harm than good. Get out of here, leave me alone...
