He goes out at night, comes home when he wants to

Nobody to tell him what to do, yeah

He drinks 'til the doors close

Brings another girl home

In the morning light, his tears fall again

Chorus: Every day, haunted by what might have been

When night time falls he ties one on again

He chose to have his parties and his friends and a life of sin

How much fun it is for him

Coulda settled down, coulda had a family

But he broke her heart, with all his lies

She lay there dreamin', he sits there drinkin'

The life of the crowd, drownin' his troubles away

Chorus
