| Bobby’s lyin' round like the wakin' dead
|
| He’s got a big black cloud hangin' over his head
|
| I want to get him up, get him out the door
|
| I’d like to get him drunk, but he don’t drink no more
|
| He says, «Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one
|
| Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun.»
|
| Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
|
| There but for the grace of you, go I
|
| Girl but for the grace of you, go I
|
| Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school
|
| And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool
|
| 50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss
|
| Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss
|
| Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today
|
| And the clock ticks, they’re runnin' out of things to say
|
| I’ve seen ashes in the wind, and I’ve never seen him cry
|
| There but for the grace of you, go I
|
| Girl but for the grace of you, go I
|
| Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must
|
| Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound
|
| Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die
|
| There but for the grace of you, go I
|
| Girl but for the grace of you, go I |
