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

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
