They call me the loner

'cause I'm all alone

I've got nobody

I even got no home

I was born in Missouri

It must have been a very bad day

For my mom and my daddy

When they carried me away



They call me the loner

And I live by the day

I never never think about tomorrow

No place I wanna stay

They call me the loner

I went through all 50 states

I've got no friends

I even got no faith



Yes I'm sad and I'm lonesome

A paradise I've never seen

The last stop must be heaven

The one place I've never been

They call me the loner

'cause I'm all alone

I've got nobody

I even got no home



They call me the loner, they call me the loner
