Third night this week, I'm playin' this old bar again
A young newly wed couple showed up, spotted the as soon as they walked in
They looked so in love, young man looked up at me
He threw me a five, asked if he could buy me a drink
Pre-Chorus
He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you've got it made
He said, be- fore we go and toast to that, there's something I've gotta say
I'd give it all, I'd give it back
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
If only I could see her again
It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
Solo
I made a lot of good friends, but lost them just as fast
You can't see the real world through the bottom of a glass
Aint even got a dog, 'cause I'm always on the road
Don't even call home, aint been a letter wrote
Pre-Chorus
But if I could see the bright lights of Mont- gomery, Alabama
Take this long road back up home, and never take it down
I'd give it all, I'd give it back
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
If only I could see her again
It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
It just took this long to see that this bottles drowning me
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
