Lyrics:

1972
Writer(s): Michael Martin Murphey, Larry Cansler

I paid the rent
I came and I went
My life was spent
In one lonely room

Restless and tired
I lay by the fire
I built my empire
In one lonely room

Some say a mansion
Is much to small
But when I tremble,
I could touch all the walls
In one lonely room

Ladies like space
They keep us so late
There's no fair game
In one lonely room

One girl came here
Her lover turned to fear
Your thoughts aren't to clear
When your in one lonely room

Loose and alive
She touched my skin
Left when she found out
I did not extend
Beyond one lonely room

One, one lonely room
One, one lonely room
One, one lonely room

When you build a house
You build yourself
Heaven or hell
In one lonely room

When you crawl in
You held it all in
Kitchen or coffin
In one lonely room

You'll never fit
If your minds to small
Listen, my friend
Cause I did it all
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
One (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
In one (one) lonely room
(lonely room)
