Shed A Tear For The Lonesome by Green on Red Lyrics

Rudy heard stories from a woman she met in Nogales
About dreams that came true like the movies she loved as a child
She worked night and day slaved for her pay sewing dresses
To buy her ticket to get her away down the mile

Chorus
I never knew what a woman could do when she's desperate
Funny how we all wound up at the same motel
So I'll buy you a beer and we'll shed a tear for the lonesome
Who wander this world searching tor someone to love

Rudy found trouble in a truckstop outside of Phoenix
A wizened old man with offers she knew to refuse
So he promised her things he saw in her eyes she needed
But with a child inside her now she had something to lose

Chorus
I never knew what a woman could do when she's desperate
Funny how we all wound up at the same motel
So I'll buy you a beer and we'll shed a tear for the lonesome
Who wander this world searching tor someone to love
