(Chorus)
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Glive wire Che's got his Dsights on someone Gnew 
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Ghigh Emflyer and CI'm so lonesome I Ddon't know what to Gdo
(verse 1)
I Cbet he's out there Dshinin' like a Gdiamond don't you know 
CTurnin' heads and Dbreakin' hearts and Gputtin' on a show
RoCllin' like a Dsummer storm Gdriftin' with the Cwind
And I just wish he'd Dblow my way Gagain
(Chorus)
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Glive wire Che's got his Dsight on someone Gnew 
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Ghigh Emflyer and CI'm so lonesome I Ddon't know what to Gdo

(Verse 2)
I Cread that goodbye letter Dat least Ga thousand times 
He Csaid I was the Donly one who Galmost changed his mind
But CBetter Homes And DGarden parties they Gweren't his cup of Ctea 
Somewhere tonight he's Drunning wild and Gfree
(Chorus)
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Glive wire Che's got his Dsights on someone Gnew
CSomewhere toDnight he's a Ghigh Emflyer and CI'm so lonesome I Ddon't know what to Gdo
