"Cold & Lonesome Life" Margie, Art, Sharon & Alton Corey/BMI
Copyright, 2001 (C)

1st Verse
Well, in the morning when you rise,
I look into your eyes,
Somethin' tells me somethin's not the same,
The T.V. plays all day,
And we don't have much to say
Frankly, well, it's drivin' me insane

Chorus
It's gonna be a cold & lonesome life when you're gone
Drinkin' coffee and feelin' small
It's gonna be a cold & lonesome life when you're gone
Countin' sunsets by the shadows on the wall

2nd Verse
Now, you're reachin' for the phone
And you want to be alone
I know you're callin' someone I don't know
It wasn't long ago
That I heard your sweet "Hello"
While another man prepared to let you go..

Chorus

Repeat.......1st Verse

Ending.....
Frankly, well, it's drivin' me insane..........

This may be a good theme for some people in confinement during the pandemic!

I enjoyed listening to this one. Has a great retro feel and sound. Instrumentation was awesome as well as hook, arrangement and recording.

I liked the arrangement a lot. Great playing. I could hear this on the radio or in a movie for sure. I liked the vocal for this song, well suited. Excellent recording. Keep on recording!

great, awesome playing on the guitars, good song, you should submit this to the authentic country song opp. You really have a great old time sound, really authentic

I enjoyed listening to this song. It had a really good feel too it. The vocal and instrumentation arrangements were both well done. The lyrics keep the listener interested throughout the whole song, wondering where they are going to take you next. It had great "Old Country" feel too it. Very nicely done.
