Ricky Nelson Lyrics
"Lonesome Town [Alternate Version]"

(B. Knight)

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken heart stays.

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears.

Going down to lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away.

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget.

Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget...
