Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________

(NO INTRO!)

rain pourin' from the sky

blues pourin' from the stereo

tears pourin' from your eyes

me, with a long way to go without you

and it tortures me, too

ev'ry time we meet

it's always the same

your love feels so sweet

it's a cryin' shame about you

this ain't no fairy-tale come true

I'm a lonely knight

spend my life out on the road

there's always someplace that I've got to go

and pretty soon,

you'll hear me howlin' at the moon

whoo-whoo-whooooo-whoooo-whoooo

when you hear the sound of me callin' out of town

don't let it get you down

baby, I'm a lonely knight

and I'm pledged to you

I fight my battle

in solitude

girl, I'm a lonely night

of rock-'n-roll

I'm a charter member

of the dawn patrol

these lonely nights

that you'd feed them shakey hands

always tryin' makin' plans

when I should be takin' stands

these lonely nights

hear my suitcase call my name

it's not the money, it's not the fame

it's just the same

baby, I'm a lonely knight

and I'm pledged to you

I fight my battle

in solitude

girl, I'm a lonely night

of rock-'n-roll

I'm a charter member

of the dawn patrol

(HARP & STRINGS STUFF)

whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo

whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo

baby, I'm a lonely knight

and I'm pledged to you

I fight my battle

in solitude

girl, I'm a lonely night

of rock-'n-roll

I'm a charter member

of the dawn patrol

girly, I'm a lonely knight

and I'm pledged to you

I fight my battle

in solitude

girl, I'm a lonely night

of rock-'n-roll

I'm a charter member

of the dawn patrol

baby, I'm a lonely knight

and I'm pledged to you

I fight my battle

in solitude

girl, I'm a lonely night

of rock-'n-roll

I'm a charter member

of the dawn patrol
