Karaoke Track: Lonesome Standard Time by Kathy Mattea (JVC)

Do you feel a kindred spirit
to the sound of pourin&#39; rain?
Does your heart start to yearnin&#39;

when you hear a distant train?

If you&#39;d like

to take that train and ride

to someone left behind.

You don&#39;t need the wind to tell you

you&#39;re on lonesome standard time.

Do you sit alone and think about
an old love from the past?
Do you feel a bit more empty

every time you raise your glass?

If the memory of his kisses
sends a shiver up your spine.
you don&#39;t need a watch to tell you

you&#39;re on lonesome standard time.

When you hear them old sad songs.
do you hang on every word?
Do you swear a cryin&#39; fiddle

has the sweetest sound on earth?

If you shudder at the music
of a hoot owl
in the pines.

you&#39;re on lonesome standard time.

There&#39;s a bigger clock a tickin&#39;.
it crosses every zone.
The first time your old heart broke

was the time you turned it on.

It don&#39;t ever need a windin&#39;.
&#39;cause if it works like mine.
well. there ain&#39;t no doubt about it

you&#39;re on lonesome standard time.

Well. when yOu hear

them old sad songs.

do you hang on every ward?

Do you swear a cryin&#39; fiddle

has the sweetest sound on earth?

If you shudder at the music
of a hoot owl
in the pines.

you&#39;re on lonesome standard time.
