Lonesome And A Long Way From Home

Lyrics: Bonnie Bramlett, Leon Russell
Music: Bonnie Bramlett, Leon Russell

Played by Jerry Garcia with various JGB line-ups, and sung by Donna Godchaux in the Heart Of Gold Band.

Out on the open highway (note 1)
Such a lovely day but something's wrong
Something, something must be wrong

Just left home this morning
This old road keeps rolling on and on
Rolling, rolling on and on

Won't somebody help me?
Somebody help me?
Somebody help me?
Somebody help me

I've never been so lonesome and long way from home
Never been lonesome and long way
Never been lonesome and long way from home

Out on the open highway
Such a lovely day but something's wrong
Something, something must be wrong

Just left home this morning
This old road keeps rolling on and on
Rolling, rolling on and on

Won't somebody help me?
Somebody help me?
Somebody help me?
Somebody help me?

I've never been so lonesome and long way from home
Never been lonesome and long way
Never been lonesome and long way from home

[etc]

Notes
(1) Donna sings "Out on the lonesome highway" - and I think Delaney Bramlett sometimes did too.
