Twenty-seven days I've been out on the roadrnI'm a nervous wreck, I gotta get back homernThere's a young bride waiting for me all alonernLord how she misses mernrnI can see her sitting in her kitchen chairrnin her cotton dress with her long black hairrnBut a woman ain't pretty if a man ain't therernlike I can't afford to bernrn(chorus)rnIt's a shame, it's a shamernshe won't be the one to blamernOh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide worldrnis the heart of a lonely girlrnrnLike a red tail fox to a blue tick houndrnshe's the hottest thing for miles aroundrnAll them other boys in our hometownrngot tricks hid up their sleevesrnrnNow it ain't her that I don't trustrnShe's pretty and pure as diamond dustrnBut lonesome is as lonesome doesrnShe can't help what she needsrnrn(chorus)rnrnThe heart of a lonely girl, the heart of a lonely girlrnIt's the hurtinest thing in the whole wide worldrnThe heart of a lonely girlrnrnDaddy was a rambler just like mernI guess the apple don't fall too far from the treernWhen I ask why mama had to go that dayrnWell he don't know and she won't sayrnrn(chorus x2) rnrnYeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide worldrnis the heart of a lonely girl
