Folks laugh and say a man's in trouble when his lady asks
"Honey please be honest - do these pants make me look fat?"
So tell her no and be sincere or smile and walk away
But answer wrong and it won't be long
Until you're one word from lonesome.CHORUS:
There are times you answer way too fast
To things you wish they would not ask
And if you answer wrong
You could be one word from lonesome.
The boss asked me to take a trip, I quickly answered yes.
A hand to shake, a deal to make, a stuffed shirt to impress.
I asked my wife to go, she said she had too much to do
I went alone, we didn't know
that I was one word from lonesome(CHORUS)
My pitch was smooth. I closed the deal. It made me feel so strong
I should have seen that I was just one drink away from wrong
The client smiled ..she asked I had something more to sell
I answered wrong and should've known
That I was one word from lonesome.(CHORUS)
My true love met me at the door , looked warmly in my eyes
then her welcome home grew colder, there's some things a man can't hide.
She was gone before she left me standing at the door.
I heard her cry. I wanna die.
I was just one word from lonesome.I was just one word from lonesome.
