Intro: She said she was gonna leave, she finally did today I drove up just in time, to watch her drive away And as I read the note she left, it cut me right to the bone Was a story of a woman who needed more than a man who was always gone She said Lord knows I've tried, I've done the best I can But I've learned it's just to hard, loving a music man I pretend I understand, but time keeps passing by And while you're out there chasing your dreams, I'm here living a lie Whiskey on the rocks is what I need Set em' up bartender, gonna drink till I can't see Watch the whiskey in the glass turn to water (one strum) It gets weaker, but I get stronger As I sit here in this bar, where everyone knows my name They all think I hit the big time, I'm headed for fortune and fame But I'm still not on the jukebox, my pictures arent on the wall I know I'm headed somewhere, I just hope it's not for a fall Chorus Bridge: Everytime I think Im on my way up, someting knocks me back to the ground Then I find the strength to get back up, I can't let this ol' guitar down Chorus
