Alone Is What I Am

I was born on the fourth of July and my momma died the very next day
Never knew who my daddy was and I?d like to keep it that way
Didn?t have no use for me and I don?t have a use for him
As far as I can see alone is what I am
Alone is what I am

Went to school so I could read and write and church so I?d learn to pray
Turned thirteen and got an old guitar and taught myself to play
So many lonely nights its been my only friend
It helps me fight the fight and helps me rise again
Alone is what I am

Can?t you see how the world keeps turning around?
How we all reap the seed we?ve sown?
So let me be cause I don?t need no one around
I?m sorry about your problems but I?ve got my own

Met a girl from way out west and she taught me how to love
She was made from the very best and shone like the stars above
But she found some other man and gave her love away
I didn?t understand and I still don?t know today
Alone is what I?ll stay

I was born on the fourth of July and my momma died the very
