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
