Liner Notes

I'm assuming the verse melody is stolen from Sturgill Simpson or someone. I haven't heard enough to know for sure, but it seems like that sort of thing. If you know where I stole it then please let me know.

Lyrics

I get up in the morning looking out my window hoping she'll walk by
Wishing that I had the nerve to ask her if she'd go out with me tonight
But I'm inside still standing here with my hand holding a half warm beer all alone
With my gut sticking out too far, pants so tight they'll leave a scar on my bones

I don't remember giving up
I blame it all on my bad luck
I've abandoned every single dream I've had
And if you ask my I will says
Lord knows, I got it bad

Suddenly, I hear a whine and it slowly seeps into my mind the dog needs food
And I've forgotten more than once, I feel the shame from back to front, I'm guilty as accused
I'll try not to forget again, 'cause after all she's my best friend right now
I swear I'll do the best I can and I would be a better man but I don't know how

I don't remember giving up
I blame it all on my bad luck
I've abandoned every single dream I've had
And if you ask my I will says
Lord knows, I got it bad

Don't tell me to be grateful
For my tortured soul
'Cause breaking down and losing love
Will surely take its toll
And I'm not strong enough

I don't remember giving up
I blame it all on my bad luck
I've abandoned every single dream I've had
And if you ask my I will says
Lord knows, I got it bad
