A decade and change on an old bar stool
A different day, different stage, the same old fool
But every night I hide away my heart
It hides the tattered, shattered, broken parts
Behind the same damn old dime store guitar
So stay away if you can
You deserve better than a ramblin' man
Hurtin' you would hurt me more than you could understand
I turn these nights into dawns
I turn hard livin' into country songs
And you can't save what was made to be alone
I put the bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
I put that bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
Girl, I could hop a train and you'd never know
'Cause I'm up before any old rooster crows
So don't put me on a shelf in your memory
Girl, I ain't what you need and I'll never be
But just know it ain't you, it's always me
So stay away if you can
You deserve better than a ramblin' man
Hurtin' you would hurt me more than you could understand
I turn these nights into dawns
I turn hard livin' into country songs
And you can't save what was made to be alone
I put the bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
I put that bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
Yeah, I'm always gone
So stay away if you can
You deserve better than a ramblin' man
Hurtin' you would hurt me more than you could understand
I turn these nights into dawns
I turn hard livin' into country songs
And you can't save what was made to be alone
I put the bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
I put that bye after good and the gettin' fore the gone
'Cause I'm always gone
A decade and change on an old bar stool
A different day, different stage, the same old fool
