I DON'T WANNA BE ALONE (c)2008 Jefferson Pepper, American Fallout.com

I hear the moans of mourning doves outside my kitchen door
They’re calling out for comfort, don’t wanna be alone no more
Missus Dove she wants a husband, Mister Dove he wants a wife
If they ever find each other they’re gonna mate for life

I’m sitting in the sunshine on the second day of spring
I feel the warmth upon my face, I hear the sparrow sing
He’s sending out a message to his lady bird out there
Singing “Won’t you come and find me, I’m lonesome over here”

I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be alone
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone
Cause you’re the one I’ve waited for to make this house a home
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone

I’m tryin’ to make a living with paper and a pen
Travellin’ around from town to town, can’t wait to be home again
Cause home is where my heart is, it’s maudlin but it’s true
Every lonesome highway that I travel leads me back to you

I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be alone
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone
Cause you’re the one I’ve waited for, you make this house a home
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone

We met in the springtime when the lilacs were in bloom
We married in the summer ‘neath the bridal wreath of June
Hand in hand we worked the land by the willows green and tall
Now we’re growing old together as autumn leaves begin to fall

I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be alone
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone
Cause you’re the one I’ve waited for, you made this house a home
It’s a mean old world without you girl, I don’t wanna be alone
