verse 1
My life is held together
By rusty guitar strings
Singin? songs in neon lights
Different stage every night
Same old dreams
verse 2
Lord she put up with so many things
She never should have to
i can?t blame her for walking away
I gave her all that i had left to give
But not enough to make her stay
If i can?t have what i want
Then i?ll have another
A glass of whiskey can?t take the place
Of a friend and a lover
But it?s all I know to do
It?s sit here and drown the truth
Lord knows i really love her
If I can?t have what I want
Then I?ll have another
verse 3
You know the crowd came to hear me play
But i?m five hundred miles away tonight
Got that old familiar feeling
When you know someone is leaving, its a fact
I don?t wanna be alone but no matter how i try
You know i need, to act my age
I always say i?m gonna give it up this time
As a pretty girl brings a shot up to the stage
If i can?t have what i want
Then i?ll have another
A glass of whiskey can?t take the place
Of a friend and a lover
But it?s all I know to do
It?s sit here and drown the truth
Lord knows i really love her
If I can?t have what I want
Then I?ll have another
If I can?t have what I want
Then I?ll have another
