--- Start Of John Prine Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness ---

You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feelin' small
You come home straight and you home curly
Sometimes you just don't come home at all

So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run

Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
Well how can a love that will last forever
Get left so far behind?

So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run

BREAK

Its a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
That's crossed that evil line today
How can you ask aboit tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say

So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
