Waylon Jennings

Isn't there anyone Who'll take me like I am? Someone who's willing To take the blue in man Someone that's pleased enough With himself to let me be Someone who'd love me And try to understand my needs No, I guess there isn't And there's no place I can go I guess I'm destined to be alone Good thing that somewhere In this world there'll be Someone who wouldn't Always try to change me Someone not trying to prove Their way is right Take a flame that's burnin? And just put out the light No, I guess there isn't And there's no place I can go I guess I'm destined to be alone
