Paragraph Lyric
You ran cryin' to the bedroom,
I ran off to the bar,
Another piece of heaven gone to hell.
The words we spoke in anger
Just tore my world apart,
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.

Then that old man sat down beside me
And looked me in the eye,
And said, "Son, I know what you're going through.
You ought to get down on your knees
and thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."

(Chorus)
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
'Til you've lived through the story
That's still livin' in me.
You don't know about sadness
'Til you've faced life alone.
You don't know about lonely
'Til it's chiseled in stone.

So I brought these pretty flowers,
Hoping you would understand.
Sometimes a man is such a fool.
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing without you.

(Chorus)
You ran cryin' to the bedroom,   I ran off to the bar,   Another piece of heaven gone to hell.   The words we spoke in anger   Just tore my world apart,   And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.      Then that old man sat down beside me   And looked me in the eye,   And said, "Son, I know what you're going through.   You ought to get down on your knees   and thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."      (Chorus)   You don't know about lonely   Or how long nights can be   'Til you've lived through the story   That's still livin' in me.   You don't know about sadness   'Til you've faced life alone.   You don't know about lonely   'Til it's chiseled in stone.      So I brought these pretty flowers,   Hoping you would understand.   Sometimes a man is such a fool.   Those golden words of wisdom   From the heart of that old man   Showed me I ain't nothing without you.      (Chorus)
