This lyric is just one of thousands by the incredibly prolific Larry W Jones aka The Kingwood Kowboy. I've put several of his lyrics to music. Just plain ol' honky tonk fun here.

Doggone Lonely Blues
Lyrics by Larry W Jones
Music by JW Hanberry
Well now, this old heart of mine keeps crying
Like tears down a bottle of booze
I'm so lonely that I'm gonna quit trying
To lose these doggone lonely blues
You said we'd be like birds of a feather
In all kinds of weather, it's true
Now my dear, I don't know as to whether
I'll lose these doggone lonely blues
(Bridge)
Something told me before you were leaving
That you'd go on a one way cruise
Now you've left me here alone and grieving
With just these doggone lonely blues
(Instrumental)
Somehow I feel like you're gone forever
Cause when you left, you left no clues
And now that you're gone, I know I'll never
Live without the doggone lonely blues
[Bridge]
I suspect by now that you've found another
Man to fill my old empty shoes
But don't let me know because I'd rather
Just live with these doggone lonely blues
Live with these doggone lonely blues
I live with these doggone lonely blues
