Water glass full of whisky
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
That's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothin'
And 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, yeh
And some just blew away
Well I've found the bad parts
And found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away
Playin' the bars, and playin' like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends have written for 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 part away
Yes of all the pieces of my life
I threw the best part away
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
That's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothin'
And 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, yeh
And some just blew away
Well I've found the bad parts
And found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away
Playin' the bars, and playin' like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends have written for 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 part away
Yes of all the pieces of my life
I threw the best part away
