Verse 2
A          G         D      A
   Tearing down that lonely road
A        G      D     A
   On my mind a heavy load
A           G      D         A
   Punchin' up and down that dial
A         G         D          A
   Lonely mem'ries, mile after mile
A          G         D         A
   Passin' where our love once grew
A              G         D      A
   Missin' the love that I once knew
A              G             D         A
   Stopped and thought 'bout our first night
A            G    D          A
   Goin on a-lone won't feel right

   Those mem'ries tear me in two
A       G          D        A

   I'm a stranger in my town

   Since "My Sweet Love Ain't Around"
A          G    D        A
   I'm not sure how I'll survive
A          G        D       A
   "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry"

Bridge:

   Cut the engine as I drifted a-way

   Can't be-lieve what has happened to-day
Em           D             G         D
   Finish my beer, while I listen to Hank

   Wish I could tell him, give him my thanks
