I care too much for my own good I've got a dog in each and every fight Lost a few along the way As soon as day turns into night I have been known to go lookin' To find what was mine I lost my nerve So I searched the corner bar I lost my faith So I went wishin' on a Lone Star I lost my woman So I went swimmin' in a river of Four Roses Next thing I knew, I was horizontal and my friends We're fishin' me out the bottom of a bottle I'm missing you more every day I can't keep the wantin'-you at bay Not that I've tried to even try I keep lookin' for you and your brown eyes In all the wrong places Just to cover all my bases Checked every honky tonk in town I lost my nerve So I searched the corner bar I lost my faith So I went wishin' on a Lone Star I lost my woman So me and my double vision went spinnin' Next thing, the ground was coming up at me like gospel Truth is easier to swallow at the bottom of a bottle If you hear this song someday Please send a prayer my way I lost my nerve So I searched the corner bar I lost my faith So I went wishin' on a Lone Star I lost my woman Woke up alone, my head pounding something awful Oh God, don't let me die here at the bottom of a bottle
