text: # Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone (Trace Adkins song)
  
  "Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone" is a song written by Jody Alan Sweet and Mary Danna and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins. It was released in February 1998 the second single from his album Big Time, as well as his sixth single overall.
  
  ## Music video
  
  The music video was directed by Michael Merriman, and features Adkins walking around the city of Atlanta seeing the memory of his former lover everywhere he goes, including seeing her as a giant. The trick is, every time he sees her, she disappears completely from his view. Among the venues identifiable in the video are a MARTA station, the Fox Theatre and the Georgia state capitol. It was filmed entirely using a green-screen in Nashville. Adkins himself has called it "the worst and most uncomfortable video [he's] ever done" and has often referred to it as his least favorite video.
