Dwight..

    I'm not a huge country music fan but I've liked Dwight Yoakam since I read a review of his first album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. in the Province newspaper circa 1986 and bought the album--a desert island classic. I was listening to my iPod at work today when Lonesome Roads from his 1993 album This Time came on..



   There was no video for it on YouTube (not that anyone watches them anyway) but here's the lyrics. Who hasn't felt like this from time to time...at least I have..

Where did I go wrong
You know I've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
cause bad's the best that I can do

Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb thats gone astray

Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
Im just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol worthless me is the only friend I ever made

Lonesome roads, the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms, the only place I ever stay
Im just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol worthless me's the only friend I ever made
Poor ol worthless me's the only friend I ever made

    I do thankfully have some friends however..
