On the other side of lonesome There's a place for you Children laugh The sun is shining And everybody smiles When you walk in the room Even a lovely rainbow Is with a streak of blue And a beat up old guitar Can still sing a happy song when it's out of tune Across the valley of the shadows Over the mountain of the blues Just past that ocean full of noise There's still a silent voice Calling out for you On the other side of lonesome There's a place for you Children laugh The sun is shining And everybody smiles When you walk in the room So come on now, brother What I'm speaking is the truth That on the other side of lonesome There's a place for you (Alright) (That boy's got the spirit) Don't you waste another minute Planning your goodbye getaway Life's a race you're bound to finish We're not meant to know The hour or the day So come on now brother Must be something we can do Don't pull that pistol out your pocket Go on shake the mud off them boots Maybe we can grab some coffee Teach each other a thing or two And on the other side of lonesome There's a place for you On the other side of lonesome There's a place for you
