Lonesome Town

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you'll pay
Is a heart full of tears

Going down to lonesome town
        Where the broken hearts stay
        Going down to lonesome town
        To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
        The streets are filled with regret
        Maybe down in lonesome town
        I can learn to forget

* Refrain

Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget
