A water glass full of whiskey And women that I never knew too well Lord, the things I've seen and done Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell I don't know how it started But that's what makes a man a man, I guess Now I'm holdin' on to nothing' Tryin' to forget the rest I'm lookin' back on my life To see if I can find the pieces I know that some were stolen And some just blew away Well, I've found the bad parts Found all the sad parts But I guess I threw the best parts away Lord awaaaaaaay, lord away Playing the bars, playing like a star Anything to get a name Carryin' on, living on songs My friends wrote to me to sing I'm lookin' back on my life To see if I can find the pieces I know that some were stolen And some just blew away Well, I've found the bad parts Found all the sad parts But I guess I threw the best parts away Lord away, away Lord the pieces of my life, everywhere, everywhere And the one I miss most of all is you and you know who Looking back on my life lord To see if I can find the pieces Looking back on my life today To see if I can find the pieces Looking back on my life God help me find the pieces
