The Sound Of Lonesome

from The Sound Of Lonesome by Dusty Woods

about

What does lonesome sound like? Listen and learn. Traditional, cry-in-your-beer country with a Waylon beat, lots of twang and real-life lyrics.

lyrics

I know the sound my heart makes when it’s breaking -
It sounds just like when you walked out the door,
Your voice in the darkness softly saying,
I love you but I just can’t stay no more.

I thought I had a love that I could count on,
But nowadays I just can’t count that low,
Now all I do is sit alone repeating
The reasons why you said you had to go.

Refrain:
I’ve never heard the lonesome sound of a cryin’ whippoorwill,
Or a freight-train hobo bound for New Orleans.
But I know the sound my heart makes when it’s beating all alone,
I know what the sound of lonesome means,
Yeah I know what the sound of lonesome means.

How long does it take to go crazy?
Well, how long is it since we’ve been apart?
Now the lonesomest sound in all creation
Is the echo of a single broken heart.

(Refrain)

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
