Drive-By Truckers - Goddamn Lonely Love Lyrics & Meanings | SongMeanings
“Sometimes this life’s a lonely road
You gotta find it on your own
So build a happy ship, cuz this livin’ is a trip
You gotta sing the kind of song that you like singing”
-To The Great Unknown (The Seeker)

FOOLISH HEART
By Matt Kagen
Bells are ringing & children singing, but what of the foolish heart?
As the bird goes up and up
As the cup spills out and over
All that is holy is profaned, you know that,
and yet you wonder what I meant when I said that in getting what you want,
you also tend to get what you don't want
You're crazy, I know... See more

i've been drinking
i'm pathetic-ed out
the sky is made
of scrapes
my arm is scraped
i see scrapes in the mirror
genetic stuff leaks
from my scrapes
the future is dusty
& stained
i'm drinking
i can see
i’m in a car
staring at road lights
where was i

There’s a hopefulness and poignancy to the lyrics here that, to be honest, doesn’t feel like Jeff Tweedy, as if something has been born anew in him. I don’t know, but a line like this is the truth: It’s hard to see reality / when you’ve got no love at all.

Jonathan Simcoe added
Those songs that speak of love without having within their lines an ache or a sigh are not love songs at all but rather Hate Songs disguised as love songs, and are not to be trusted. These songs deny us our humanness and our God-given right to be sad and the airwaves are littered with them.”
Toko-pa Turner • Belonging: Remembering Ourselves home
Another day dragged on into sleepless nights
I wish I knew no stars when the sky grows dark
Each one a reminder of all that we are (All that we are)
And how it fell apart
Monument to every meaningless goodbye
And a purpose I have yet to find
A pale light lingers no matter where I hide
Are you ready for truth and pain to be the same?
The difference between
