The Other End Of Lonely
J. Edney
2002

Bar fights bad clubs
All I wanna get out of
Smokey rooms
Whiskey bottles
Pick em up and knock em down
That’s how it used to be
You walked into my life
Oh how the smoke cleared away
Now I can see clearly
Though night and day

On the other end
Of being lonely and sad
Is a man who is happy
Overjoyed
Of what he has
And it’s you
Who makes me feel this way
Finally I know how it is
On the other end of lonely

Driving down the street
People walking to and from
Smiles on their face
But one man
Who sits all alone
Wearing barely nothing
Because he don’t have it
I just look on cuz

On the other end
Is a man who was happy
Living in a house just off of first street
And then
He had a wife and they was happy
I don’t know why it works this way
All I know is that he has seen
The other end of lonely

And when the time comes
And I’m old and gray
My family will, kneel and pray
As I leave them in a troubled time
I hope that they know

I’m in a better place dancing with the angels
Smiling on you cuz your still the one for me
And I can say
Throughout all my life I’ve realized
With everything I’ve been through
I had my ups and downs and I
Am on the other end of lonely
