Somewhere tonight he's a live wire He's got his sights on someone new Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer And I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know Turnin' heads, breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind And I just wish he'd blow my way again Somewhere tonight he's a live wire He's got his sights on someone new Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer And I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do I've read that goodbye letter, at least a thousand times He said, "I was the only one who almost changed his mind" But better homes and garden parties they weren't his cup of tea Somewhere tonight he's runnin' wild and free Somewhere tonight he's a live wire He's got his sights on someone new Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer And I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do And I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do
