I Miss Missing Someone Tonight

Been a long hard day
Come home from the job
Drop my stuff on the floor
I live like a slob
That is because
There’s no one to nag
To pick up my clothes
Or take out the trash bag
I plop in the chair
Crack open a beer
Deafening silence
Is all that I hear
I know inside
Something ain’t right
I miss
Missing someone tonight.
I flip through the channels
Just to hear the sound
So I don’t have to think
‘Bout how no one’s around
I go to the desk
And harvest my crops
Just so I know
My heart has not stopped
I go to the fridge
And micro a meal
Oh how I long
For cooking that’s real
I know inside
Something ain’t right
I miss
Missing someone tonight
I rise from my meal
Head off to bed
The only good night
Is the voice in my head
I lay down to sleep
All by myself
Eleven it says
On the clock on my shelf
I clutch on the pillow
Wishin it were she
Drift off in the night
I’m lonely as can be
I know inside
Something ain’t right
I miss
Missing someone tonight
I miss
Missing someone tonight

Did you compose this? (I’m bad on knowing songs and titles).

Thanks. Been writing songs for years, but never got anywhere with it. I had a band in my youth… My bandmates were interested more in the sex and drugs than they were the rock and roll. It didn’t work out.

Interesting! Maybe you can get something going again, only with a better group this time! Or even forget the group and go solo--like Johnny Cash, no?
