Sitting and drinking, it's quarter past two   What ever happened to him and to you   Sitting there wondering what's he gonna do   You're a long way from lonesome and long way from there   You're too far away, you can't feel his tears   Lord, lord what's he gonna' do      CHORUS   Well his band's on the road as they drive through the rain   Out on a limb with his misery and pain   He just can't say when he'll see you again and it hurts him so   But this here is something he's got to try   God only knows the reason why   Hank Williams said it: "I'm so lonesome I could cry"      Now he's out on a stage, and the house lights are dim   The spotlight is pointing directly at him   Now it's time to leave it all behind   Well they all get to rocking when he starts to play   It's the only time in his lonely day   That he feels quite real and he's got you off his mind      CHORUS   Well the show's almost over, they've done an encore   The crowd's going crazy but his throat is getting sore   But they just keep on playing till they just can't play no more   Down a t a bare in a local hotel   He's feeling no pain and it's easy to tell   That he's coming down from the feelings that swell, when they play like hell      Now he's sitting there drinking, it's quarter past two   What ever happened to him and to you   Sitting there wondering what's he gonna do   Except play the blues      REPEAT FIRST CHORUS
