Music and Lyrics: Glenn Buhr
The band played on at the High and Lonesome Club.
The trains drifted by, the sun hung in the sky.
And I saw myself, playing guitar on a flat car,
Getting stoned with the redneck railboys.
In those days I had nothing to say, so in the heat I sang some songs,
While back home the band played on at the High and Lonesome Club.
I’ve been alone here at the High and Lonesome Club,
Thinking it’s time to cut my losses; time to pick up my gains.
Then someone said, ‘Life is gaining meaning.’
I don’t know what she meant by that, but it had a good feeling.
And though she also told me that nothing is never as it seems,
I found a home in those sea-green eyes,
So I danced with the woman of my dreams,
And the band played on at the High and Lonesome Club.
In those days I had nothing to say, so in the heat I sang some songs,
While back home the band played on at the High and Lonesome Club.
