Also recorded by: J.J. Cale



I was just thinkin' about you today
And your leavin' has left me a mountain
But I cannot get through to you, find words to say
To you darlin', you're so far away

Oh no, I ain't cryin', these ain't tears in my eyes
I'm so happy, I'm dyin' with laughter
But if you'd just come back over, I know that youd see
We ain't lonesome, my cricket and me

Your picture reminds me I wanted to be free
I hurt you, I drove you away
But if you'd come over, I know that you'd see
We ain't lonesome, my cricket and me
