| Song | Speed of the Sound of Loneliness |
| Artist | John Prine |
| Album | John Prine Live |
| Lyrics：John Prine Music：John Prine | |
| You come home late and you come home early | |
| You come on big when you're feeling small | |
| You come home straight and you come home curly | |
| Sometimes you don't come home at all | |
| Chorus: | |
| So what in the world's come over you | |
| And what in heaven's name have you done | |
| You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness | |
| You're out there running just to be on the run | |
| Well i got a heart that burns with a fever | |
| And i got a worried and a jealous mind | |
| How can a love that'll last forever | |
| Get left so far behind | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow | |
| It's crossed the evil line today | |
| Well, how can you ask about tomorrow | |
| We ain't got one word to say | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| Ending: | |
| You're out there running just to be on the run | |
| You're out there running just to be on the run | |
| You're out there running just to be on the run |
