Always Be Me - Dierks Bentley

from his first album, Don't Leave Me In Love (2001)

If lonesome was money I'd be set for life
I'd be swimmin in riches instead of tears I've cried
The blues would be worth a whole lot of green
You'd never hear one complaint from me
If lonesome was money I'd be set for life

If lonesome was a woman I'd never be alone
I'd always have someone here to love me and to hold
I'd leave misery's clutches and find love's embrace
This frown you see a smile would replace
If lonesome was a woman I'd never be alone

Chorus
How I'd like to change lonesome
To mean something happy and free
But I know that won't ever happen you see
Lonesome will always be me
Lonesome will always be me

If lonesome was a liquor I could run a still
Bottle up my tears and let the folks drink their fill
It'd be happy hour all the time seven days a week
And laughter's all you'd ever hear from me
If lonesome was a liquor I could run a still

Repeat chorus x2

I wish I could too. It's one of the only things I've never seen on ebay.

I guess this song is too "Country" lol for country radio...So he had to come out with another album which of course had "What Was I Thinkin" He is just straight up a great songwriter Can't wait until the new album comes out :)

This is more like what real country music is suppose to sound like..unlike all the stuff they define "real country" on radio nowadays.

Dierks is a great song writer! His concerts are even better. If you get a chance..go see one of his shows. Lots of energy and he never slows down. Great performer.
