If you knew the whole sad story,
I guarantee it'd make you cry,
But you just know bits and pieces,
So you sit and wonder why.
No point in both of us feeling down,
I'm sure that you agree,
So just thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
If you wonder why I'm sittin' here
Alone most every night,
Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' beer
Until the morning light,
It's because I lost my one true love,
She just stopped and set me free,
So just thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
You ain't me and you ain't dyin'
Just a little more each day,
You ain't me and you ain't cryin'
'Cause your darling went away,
You ain't me and you don't drink yourself
Into a stupor every day,
You're as lucky as a body could be
'Cause you ain't me.
So just leave my by my lonesome,
Don't let my heartache bring you down,
And I won't hold it against you,
If you stop comin' around,
'Cause as far as she's concerned,
I'm ancient history,
So just thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
So get on with what you're doin',
And just leave this poor fool be,
And thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
And just thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
Just thank your lucky stars
That you ain't me.
