Verse I
He sat one barstool away
Caught her lookin' his way
He said hi and she said hey
And it wasn't that long until..
They both started to talk
Couple shots n' they're hittin' it off
When he asked if she had someone to go home to
Pre I
That's how, it all began
But fast forward to the end
Since she packed her things
He's sippin' Tennessee
Like a fool in barstool therapy
Cuz..
Chorus
The girl of his dreams walked out the door
Never had his heart shattered like that before
Made a hundred last call promises
That tomorrow he'd move on from it
Tryna glue himself together with an 80 proof
N' dull his jagged edges so they don't cut through
It's been a, hard road and a long one
Cuz' lettin' her go is
Easier said than done
Verse II
He came home early one day
A truck parked in the driveway
He walked in to her lyin'
There with another man
And that
Messed up his whole damn life
Maybe it's a-bout time
He found someone new and better way to get her off his mind
Pre II
Drinkin', every night
N' spendin' every dime
Since she packed her things
He's sippin' Tennessee
Like a fool in barstool therapy
Cuz..
Chorus
Instr
Bridge
He says he's over her
But those are empty words
Cuz'..
