Lyrics Just Pleasing You - Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell

Just Pleasing You

I used to get drunk all by myself
I wanted to be somebody else
And I had a mask inside my mind
That I hid behind
Out on the point of no return
I crossed a bridge I could not burn
And turned down a road that led straight to just pleasing you
If just pleasing you is the last thing I do
I’ll go to my grave nobody’s slave
Most of the friends I used to know
Gave up a long long time ago
I blew through their lives a train off track
And never looked back
And I made each love a nasty joke
And every last chance a vow I broke
Then down on my knees, surrender to just pleasing you
If just pleasing you is the last thing I’ll do
They’ll lay me to rest
Knowing I’ve had the best
I used to get drunk all by myself
Now I’ve set that old pain up on the shelf
And each shining day I rise up to just pleasing you
And each shining day I rise up to just pleasing you
Just pleasing you
Just pleasing you
