Lonesome Starry Skies

Full lean into country/blues. “Could this be my lane?” thought a budding singer-songwriter alone in a sophomore single-occupancy dorm room.

LONESOME STARRY SKIES

Ain’t nothin’ worthwhile between Montana and you
Ain’t nothin’ worthwhile between Montana and you
Nothin’ but these lonesome starry skies

Ain’t nothin’ sadder than my lonely heart
Ain’t nothin’ sadder than my lonely heart
Nothin’ but these lonesome starry skies

Ain’t nothin’ I want more than you in my arms
Ain’t nothin’ I want more than you in my arms
And to see the moonlight in your eyes

Drove miles and miles away just to find myself
Now I’m without you and wish that I was someone else
And I’d show you lonesome starry skies

Ain’t worth me sleepin’ if you ain’t in my dreams
Ain’t worth me sleepin’ if you ain’t in my dreams
So sandman, bring that girl of mine

Sometimes I feel like I’m alone in the dark
Sometimes I feel like I’m alone in the dark
But holdin’ you, I know I’ll be just fine

Went to Chicago, so now you are further still
And how I wish I could meet you at your windowsill
And we could watch together this lonesome starry sky
