Cimarron 615 - High Lonesome Stranger

Hello high lonesome stranger 
Well don't I know your name 
I think we met before in Bakersfield 
You were pouring down whiskey  
Like cold Seattle rain 
High lonesome stranger 
Don't I know your name 
 
Drowning your sorrow with liquor 
Talking about Luke the Drifter 
And how he died too young 
In the backseat of a car 
Hollow-eyed and cosmic 
Another fallen star 
 
Hello high lonesome stranger 
Well don't I know your name 
I think we met before in Bakersfield 
You were pouring down whiskey  
Like cold Seattle rain 
High lonesome stranger 
Don't I know your name 
 
New Year's Eve, tender she sings 
Do you know what loneliness can bring 
And are you really willing to pay the price 
You long to be immortal 
But you're too afraid to die 
 
Hello high lonesome stranger 
Well don't I know your name 
I think we met before in Bakersfield 
You were pouring down whiskey  
Like cold Seattle rain 
High lonesome stranger 
Don't I know your name 
 
Hello high lonesome stranger
