[Verse 1] I’m walkin’ ‘round this town, can’t feel my feet on the ground, Yeah, I’m walkin’ ‘round this town, can’t feel my feet on the ground. She was my reason for livin’, now she’s nowhere to be found. [Verse 2] Ain’t been sleepin’, ain’t been eatin’, my soul’s gone dry. No, I ain’t been sleepin’, ain’t been eatin’, my soul’s gone dry. Every time I close my eyes, it’s her name in the sky. [Chorus] I got these threadbare blues, hangin’ on by a string, Oh these threadbare blues, hangin’ on by a string. She built me up so high, then cut loose everything. [Verse 3] She won’t answer my call, won’t write me no more. No, she won’t answer my call, won’t write me no more. Feels like I’m standin’ empty, outside my own door. [Bridge] The future looks like a ghost town, no lights on inside, Yeah the future looks like a ghost town, no lights on inside. She’s plannin’ her tomorrow, leavin’ me behind. [Chorus – repeat & fade] I got these threadbare blues, hangin’ on by a string, Oh these threadbare blues, hangin’ on by a string. She built me up so high, then cut loose everything.
