S
Speed The Sound Of Loneliness
John Prine
G C
You come home late and you come home early
D G
You come on big when you’re feeling small
G C
You come home straight and you come home curly
D G
Sometimes you don’t come home at all
Chorus: C
So what in the world’s come over you
D G
And what in heaven’s name have I done
C
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D G
You’re out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that’ll last forever
Get left so far behind
Chorus
It’s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It’s crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain’t got one word to say
Chorus
