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
