Lonesome Dave - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave?

Used to play in a rock 'n' roll band

He’d be up and on the stage

All the kids would raise their hands

But oh, then disco came

Nothing lasts for long

Oh, it’s such a shame

Lonesome Dave is gone

Well, he’d be up there rockin' out

Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year

Lightnin' Boogie and Amy’s Blues

Play it so loud that it hurt my ears

And oh, somethin' went wrong

Yeah, the times have changed

Now it’s a different song

Lonesome Dave is gone

All right, Dave!

Yeah!

Well, three P.M.

at the Holiday Inn

The room service coming on a tray

Tuna melt and an orange juice

It was heaven there for Lonesome Dave

But, oh, that disco came

Oh, the times have changed

Now it’s a different song

Lonesome Dave is gone

Well, I wish I was Lonesome Dave

I’d lay up with the girls all night

I’d run round in the parking lot

I’d drink some beer and get into fights

But oh, it’s only me

Now it’s a different song

What will be, will be

Lonesome Dave is gone

All right, Dave

Hang on, Dave, yeah!

Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave?

He used to play in a guitar band

Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year

God, I know, we all love him, man

Yeah, and he’d go wild

Yeah, the crowd would yell

Time is moving on

Lonesome Dave is gone

Bye bye, Dave!

Yeah

Bye bye, Dave!
