Well I ain't never been to Folsom
But I've damn sure done my Time
Tryin' to please a Woman

Tryin' to walk the Line

When she washed her hands of our love

I went right straight down the Drain
Straight down the tubes with the booze and blues
Where the boozin' losers hang


Now I'm Lowdown and Lonesome, but I feel right at home
Cuz I done grown accustomed, to sinkin' like a stone

Since I hit rock bottom, I've been high as I can be
Ever since that woman, put that Lowdown and Lonesome on me


Here on this Whiskey river
Ain't no paddle, ain't no boat
and this Ninety-proof I'm clinging to

been keepin' me afloat

Well they say I use to give a damn,

But that was long ago
Back before she took our love
and blew it full of holes


Left me Lowdown and Lonesome, but I feel right at home
Cuz I done grown accustomed, to sinkin' like a stone

Since I hit rock bottom, I've been high as I can be
Ever since that woman, put that Lowdown and Lonesome on me


Bartender keeps her picture on the wall here just in case
I ever can't remember how I wound up in this place


I'm Lowdown and Lonesome, but I feel right at home
Cuz I done grown accustomed, to sinkin' like a stone
Since I hit rock bottom, I've been high as I can be

Ever since that woman, put that Lowdown and Lonesome on me
She put that Lowdown and Lonesome on me.
