Every night I'm dreaming about you
Can't get you off of my mind
Lonely nights here without you
I'm the one you left behind
Been a long time since you left me behind
Had to learn how to be strong
But a steady hand takes liquor and wine
That's the only way to get along
All my songs have been singing about you
Can't put the fiddle down
Wished I had my armed around you
All i got is memories now
Been a long time since you left me behind
Had to learn how to be strong
But a steady hand takes liquor and wine
That's the only way to get along
I'm drinking every night here without you
Drying my tears at the bar
Empty chairs got me thinking about you
Hide behind the whiskey jar
Been a long time since you left me behind
Had to learn how to be strong
But a steady hand takes liquor and wine
That's the only way to get along
Now the day you left your daddy was a'praying
We'd find you on the hillside
I got a troubled mind and a shaky hand
I'm the one you left behind
Been a long time since you left me behind
Had to learn how to be strong
But a steady hand takes liquor and wine
That's the only way to get along
But a steady hand takes liquor and wine
That's the only way to get along
