歌词
[Verse 1]
Third night this week
Playing this old bar again
A young newly wed couple showed up
Spotted them as soon as they walked in
They looked so in love
Young man looked up at me, threw me a five
Asked if he could but me a drink
[Verse 2]
He said, "I wish I could sing and play guitar"
"Man, you've got it made"
I said, "Before we go and toast to that"
"There's something I gotta say"
[Verse 3]
I'd give it all, I'd give it back, I'd make a call
Wouldn't take me long to pack
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
If only I could see her again
[Verse 4]
Just took this long to see that this ain't where I need to be
I've had too much fun, I'm headed North on 21
[Verse 5]
I made a lot of good friends, but lost them just as fast
You can't see the real world through the bottom of a glass
Ain't even got a dog 'cause I'm always on the road
Don't even call home, ain't been a letter wrote
But if I could see the bright lights of Montgomery, Alabam'
Take this long road trip back up home and never take it down
[Verse 6]
I'd give it all, I'd give it back, I'd make a call
Wouldn't take me long to pack
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
If only I could see her again
Just took this long to see that this ain't where I need to be
I've had too much fun, I'm headed North on 21
[Verse 7]
Just took this long to see that this bottle's drowning me
I've had too much fun, I'm headed North on 21
