We fell so hard One day at a time is what they tell us Now I gotta find a way to tell them I felt you'd go But you were with me all along along If I can be an example of getting sober Then I can be an example of starting over Now we gotta get back what

So long, so long I have erased you I have escaped Your name, your face Is all you have left now You've been erased I've wanted to waste you The bitter taste of you As your world disassembles

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I

This river is wild Listen to the sound of the world Don't watch it turn Lets you go I never did get along with everybody else But you know I could stay here And watch the clouds fall from the sky Godspeed ya, boy

Where I held your body close for so long, so long I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa I'm gonna break all of the china 'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone We were building brick by brick Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah So I'll

You know we're straight out of that dirty south Dirty roads, nobody got no money Got them shined up pickup trucks Whistlin' at them honies From the country, yes sir You know we're straight out of that long week work At night, everybody wanna party All

You shook me all night long. You know you shook me, baby I have a bird that whistles And I have birds that sing. You know you shook me You shook me so hard baby Baby, baby, please come home. I have a baby, won't do nothing oh! Oh, oh, buy a diamond ring.
