Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead
|
He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head
|
I want to get him up, get him out the door
|
I'd like to get him drunk, but he don't drink no more
|
He says, "Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one
|
Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun."
|
|
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
|
There but for the grace of you, go I
|
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
|
|
Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school
|
And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool
|
50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss
|
Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss
|
Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today
|
And the clock ticks, they're runnin' out of things to say
|
|
I've seen ashes in the wind, and I've never seen him cry
|
There but for the grace of you, go I
|
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
|
|
Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must
|
Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound
|
|
Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
|
There but for the grace of you, go I
|
Girl but for the grace of you, go I
