Lonesome Highway Blues

Oh Lord Mama went away in the winter of 05 And now she's resting by our Papa's side Lonesome highway crosses their path Winding roads and two lonely bird baths And scented flowers filter the air Reminds me of them both still being there And as I stare beyond the clouds silver lining Oh I know their both up there doing some real fine dining Oh Lord please comfort them both from all of their pains And as my tears stream down in this pouring rain Memories of pain joy and some of my fears Is what brought here so close and near Oh and Papa you were right when you said I had a lesson to learn Many roads and bridges I had to cross and burn And As I get into my car and drive away I know this lonesome highway will return me one day So goodby oh goodby Mama and Papa I still love you I still love you both oh and thank you thank you for helping me get over all those lonesome blues lonesome highway blues Papa 1925 - 1981 Mama 1934 - 2005 { RIP } Miss You Both
