One More Drink

Last night I dreamt you left me
I woke up to find it true
Instead of holding all these memories
Wish I was holding on to you
As the night creeps in
I fear the silent wind
Will surround me until I can’t breath
Now I’m looking towards the drink to set me free
One more drink
Better make it the bottle
See how much rye it takes
To drown a memory
Even if I tried
I wouldn’t change your mind
So it’s one more drink
And another lonesome night
This home is like a museum
Of a broken-hearted man
Like that picture on the dresser
From that night our love began
I could start again
Get rid of everything
That reminds me of you and me
All that I’d be left with is a home that’s empty
One more drink
Better make it the bottle
See how much rye it takes
To drown a memory
Even if I tried
I wouldn’t change your mind
So it’s one more drink
And another lonesome night
One more drink
And another lonesome night
One more drink
And another lonesome night

Tell me what the hell you’re thinking
Every night it’s heavy drinking
Every night a new companion
Is that what you’re supposed to do
And I might talk about the whiskey
And that doesn’t make it true
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue
You called it quits so I’m leaving
Leaving my whole world behind
I’m the one who should be reeling
Oh and you opened my eyes
Tell me what the hell you’re thinking
Every night it’s heavy drinking
Every night a new companion
Is that what you’re supposed to do
And I might talk about the whiskey
And that doesn’t make it true
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue
Bar looks the same on a Wednesday
As it did the night before
I tried your life every which way
Now here I am staring through the bushes
Waving at a past life
Tell me what the hell you’re thinking
Every night it’s heavy drinking
Every night a new companion
Is that what you’re supposed to do
And I might talk about the whiskey
And that doesn’t make it true
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue
Now I don’t talk about the whiskey
All those barrooms must have tricked me
And don’t get me wrong
I still imbibe from time to time
Yeah I throw all my own parties
My friends all see what I see
And don’t get me wrong
I’m still blue from time to time
Tell me what the hell you’re thinking
Every night it’s heavy drinking
Every night a new companion
Is that what you’re supposed to do
And I might talk about the whiskey
And that doesn’t make it true
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue
Life’s not always a party
Sometimes you’re just blue

Can't Be As Bad

Tell your friends all about me
Think I’m going with someone else
Careful what you’re doing
Keep those rumors to yourself
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
No I can’t be that bad
After all you might be wrong
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
Can’t be that bad
I’d be dancing with the devil
While you’re at home on a Saturday night
No matter what you think of me
That just doesn’t sound right
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
No I can’t be that bad
After all you might be wrong
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
Can’t be that bad
Tell me what I could do or say yeah
To prove I’m not lying
And promise you will stay
I’d be dancing with the devil
While you’re at home on a Saturday night
No matter what you think of me
That just doesn’t sound right
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
No I can’t be that bad
After all you might be wrong
I can’t be as bad as you think I am
Can’t be that bad

I Still Care
03:41

Well I’m sorry for the way that you’ve been treated
By me and I wish those thoughts they weren’t my own
In my dreams you and I would be together
But I know that I got what I deserved
When one door closes
Don’t buy her some roses
Because roses alone just won’t say
That I still care for you
When I’m not near to you
I still want you to
Say I love you too
And I know it’s not unfair
I’m not going back there
Yeah you made that real clear
Last time we talked
Well I don’t have grand expectations
Don’t expect you to run back to my arms
And there’s just one thing I need you to hear from me
No I never meant to cause you harm
Society opposes
A grown man’s emotions
I think more men
Just have to try to say
That I still care for you
When I’m not near to you
I still want you to
Say I love you too
And I know it’s not unfair
I’m not going back there
Yeah you made that real clear
Last time we talked
I still care for you
When I’m not near to you
I still want you to
Say I love you too
And I know it’s not unfair
I’m not going back there
Yeah you made that real clear
Last time we talked
Yeah I know it’s not unfair
I’m not going back there
Yeah you made that real clear
Last time we talked

Face of a Man
03:18

It’s over again
Did he leave you just like before
Happened so many times
It’s hardly worth counting
Did you cry like a baby
That was just being born
Or has the well run dry
From all its use
Just turn around
And open your eyes
To see the world brand new
You might see something
That you once knew before
A face of a man you can trust
Once more
It’s over again
How did he leave you this time
Did he act
Like you both would get married
Did he get down on his knee
And ask you to leave
So much for happily ever after
Just turn around
And open your eyes
To see the world brand new
I’m not a man
That would cause you this pain
Or love you
In vain
You might see something
That’s been here the whole time
A face of a man you can trust
I may not be worth much
I’m a face of a man you can trust
Once more
