Well Hank made a living out of lonely.
Sang like a freight train whistle moan.
Said: "You'll never get out of this world alive,"
As if he'd always known, Lord, Lord.
As if he'd always known.

Rode down that hillbilly highway,
Took a big black Cadillac on home.
And he said: "Driver keep on driving,
"'Til all the lonely's gone".

'Til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely,
'Til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone.
Let's just hold on to each other,
'Til all the lonely's gone.

Told my mama: "Dear sweet mama,
"I'm tired and weary to the bone.
"Just let me walk among your flowers,
"Make me wonder why I roam, Lord, Lord.
"Make me wonder why I roam."

"Feed me biscuits and milk gravy,
"'Til your baby's feeling strong.
"We'll sit up picking on the front porch, yeah,
"'Til all the lonely's gone.

'Til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely.
'Til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone.
Let's just hold on to each other,
'Til all the lonely's gone.

Well now, Jesus was praying in the garden.
He never felt so all alone.
They knew His suffering was over, yeah,
When they rolled away the stone, Lord, Lord:
When they rolled away the stone.

On golden stairs, He walked to heaven,
And there He's waiting on the throne.
He loves to hear His children sing and shout,
'Til all the lonely's gone.

'Til all the lonely, 'til all the lonely,
'Til all the lonely's gone, gone, gone, gone.
Let's just hold on to each other,
'Til all the lonely's gone.

('Til it's gone.)
('Til it's gone.)
('Til it's gone.)
