Woke up scared in the middle of the night
|
He reached for the bottle and turned on the light
|
Looked at the clock, this can't be right
|
I'm not dreaming
|
|
Turned on the tv and the radio
|
Elvis rocked and Elvis rolled
|
While Jesus on his radio show
|
Said pack your bags, we're leaving
|
|
Chorus:
|
There's a line I've crossed somewhere
|
I left the best of me back there
|
Never thoguht I'd end up here
|
Guess all the best things disappear
|
|
Whiskey is his water and it's made in hell
|
From the bottom of his barrel to the bottom of his well
|
Nothing in this room but an empty shell
|
And he's not dreaming
|
|
A drunkard's regrets are a dime a dozen
|
A thousand cures and a thousand poinsons
|
Even Elvis couldn't find one good reason
|
To keep believing
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Guess she thought she had nothing to lose
|
When she told him he had to choose
|
Nice idea but they both knew
|
That she'd be leaving
|
|
Jesus said seek and you shall find
|
He doesn't think it's true this time
|
Some things you look for you never find
|
Like one good reason
|
|
