God Never Made One of Us to Be Alone Lyrics by Lori McKenna

Numbered Doors

2014

[Verse 1]
If the grain in the wood of that kitchen table could talk
He could read it like a book, he's memorized every part
But it don’t say a word and his microwave dinner is cold
God never made one of us to be alone
[Verse 2]
A waitress cleans counters, chapel doors listen and wait
A trooper paces town like a dog on a backyard chain
While the kids hanging out down by the river are getting stoned
God never made one of us to be alone
[Chorus 1]
And if you'd never found me
You'd find someone you thought was like me
I’d find someone to remind me of you
And so on, and so on, and so on
[Verse 3]
Well, they don't light the roads they don't name, and that's why they're so dark
And every one of us here is carrying some hurt in their heart
And though a heart can be broken, it cannot, it cannot turn to stone, no
Because God never made one of us to be alone
[Chorus 2]
And if you'd never found me
You'd find someone you thought was like me
And I'd find somebody to remind me of you
And so on, and so on, and so on
And so on
And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on
[Verse 4]
She pulls her car to the side of the road, turns off the radio
And in the good and the bad of their love she finds a glimmer of hope
She dials his number, he answers, saying, "Baby, please, please come home"
She says, "God never made one of us to be alone"
