Drove half way to town last night an' I turned around,
In a field of fireflies makin' such a lonely sound
As my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road,
I realized that I was livin' in a new zip code

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA
Population one since yesterday
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA

I never knew the sound of silence could be so loud
It's hard getting used to livin' in an empty house
Yeah, I know I can come an' go any time I please,
But there's somethin' I miss about you waitin' up on me

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA
Population one since yesterday
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA

Hey, I could drive all night an' be right here where I am,
And still be just as lost till you come back
Hey, I look around here an' it don't take long to see,
Oh, where I am right now's no place to be

[Instrumental Break]

Lonesome, USA
Population one since yesterday
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA
