Life without you would be a Tuesday at the motel By the Denny's on the dingy side of town Watchin' dirty water stream down a clouded window pane While I wash your memory down Hangin' out in places where the lonely come together Talk about just where it all went wrong Where all the woulda, coulda, shoulda string together like The trappings of a sad old country song Well, it'd be an uphill fight Long days and lonely nights Just a game I'm bound to lose It'd just be somethin' I get through A life without you Life without you would be turnin' back to pages That I'd written in my younger days Livin' on the highway, always doin' it my way All talk and nothin' to say Floatin' through the fog in a dream of disillusion Tryin' to fill my ever empty cup Not knowin' good and well, when you're on the road to hell There's worse things you can do than get stuck It'd be an uphill fight Long days and lonely nights Just a game I'm bound to lose It'd just be somethin' I get through A life without you Life without you would be an empty breath A sea of loneliness A world laid out in black and white and blue It'd just be somethin' I get through A life without you
