| I took a long stretch of highway
|
| Put a thousand miles behind me
|
| I knew, I had the fine peace of mind
|
| I got a new job in Dallas
|
| And a two room bachelor palace
|
| For where I sit Ithe think
|
| I’m doin' alright
|
| Except for the whiskey in my life
|
| Except for the lonely I feel every night
|
| Except for the way
|
| I miss holdin' you tight
|
| Except for the way I dont sleep anymore
|
| Since that day you walked out my door
|
| Except for the time spent walking on the floor
|
| I’m doin' alright
|
| I watch the sun rise on the new day
|
| I think things could start goin' in my way
|
| The clouds are gone and I can see a big blue sky
|
| I wonder how you’re doin' without me
|
| And if you every think about me
|
| If I had the chance I’d tell ya
|
| I’m doin' alright
|
| Except for the whiskey in my life
|
| Except for the lonely I feel every night
|
| Except for the way
|
| I miss holdin' you tight
|
| Except for the way I dont sleep anymore
|
| Since that day you walked out my door
|
| Except for the time spent walking on the floor
|
| I’m doin' alright
|
| Except for the way I dont sleep anymore
|
| Since that day you walked out my door
|
| Except for the time spent walking on the floor
|
| I’m doin' alright
|
| Except that you don’t love me no more
|
| I’m doin' alright |
