if you drive late at night
and pass the town at night. and know that someone lies awake not sleeping. if you drive fast at night
and hear the wind at night. and know tha sometimes you can hear them weeping
the lonely ones. the lonely ones. and though you'd like to stop
you know it's wrong to stop. the nights' to dark for you to ever reach them
the lonely ones. the lonely ones. as you drive on we drive faster
you try to leave the night behind you but wait. you hear them still. you always will. the lonely ones. out on the edge of town
you start to turn around. but in your mirror you see the one who is crying
the lonely ones. the lonely ones
the lone-ly ones!
