Lonely By Choice Lyrics

LONELY BY CHOICE
JASON BOLAND AND THE STRAGGLERS
THE BOURBON LEGEND
SIMPLE AND HONEST, GENTLE AND KIND
AND ALL OF THE TOWN FOLK THINK HE'S LOST HIS MIND
PRAISE FOR THE RICH, SO THEY'LL GIVE TO THE POOR
DOESN'T ASK MUCH OF NOTHIN', DOESN'T WANT NOTHIN' MORE
CHORUS:
HE'S LONELY BY CHOICE AND HE LIKES IT THAT WAY
A LOT ON HIS MIND WITH NOT MUCH TO SAY
HE TALKS TO JESUS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY
HE'S LONELY BY CHOICE AND HE LIKES IT THAT WAY
HE WAS IN LOVE WITH A GIRL LONG AGO
HE LEFT HER FOR REASONS SHE'LL NEVER KNOW
HE NEVER LOOKS BACK ON WHAT MIGHT'VE BEEN
CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE'LL NEVER LOVE LIKE THAT AGAIN
REPEAT CHORUS
THEY'RE ALL TRIED AND TRUE, ALL THE CLICHES
HE GAVE ONE HIS ALL, TO GIVE UP HIS WAYS
AND THE B***HES WILL RIP, FLESH FROM HIS BONES
AND THE BASTARDS ARE FAT, BECAUSE HE'S ALONE
REPEAT CHORUS
LONELY BY CHOICE AND HE LIKES IT THAT WAY
