So lonely, I'm a lonely man from Gainesville 
(He ain't got nowhere to go), got nowhere to go 
Said I don't want doin' wrong over this land 
(Yes his blood is growin' cold), cold, gettin colder 

Yeah, I believe that all the people on the street 
Take the time, time to stare 
Not lonely in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere 
Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander aimlessly 
Lord it can't be 
I don't want it to be my destiny 
Lord, woman come an help me 

Oh I wish that I could find me a turkey 
(all he needs is good sweet love) 
Yeah gotta go quack quack 
Oh baby I would know in my heart I would be lucky 
(That's the only way to go) 
Yeah, be fine 

Yeah, I wanna tell you that all the people on that street 
They take the time to stare 
I can see in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere 
Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander 'round aimlessly 
Can't be, can't be 
Don't want it to be my destiny Lord,take ahold of me 

Sure don't wanna be a lonely man
