Last Six Dollars

Lyrics

Well the lights go off
 And the curtains go down
 Like an old romance
 Without any sound
 You don't get the story but the heartache still comes through
 And right or wrong
 It never comes up it seems
 It's just taken for granted by the girl of your dreams
 And I guess I was taken for granted too
 Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
 Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
 You were there
 You had somebody new
 And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
 Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
 While the world keeps moving around and around on you
 And you must have heard
 The sound of the truck
 Cause the lights went back down
 And I saw you get up
 But I drove away
 Tell me what else was I to do
 And I wish we all had just a tiny compartment
 A little black box where we could put our heartaches
 'Cause I'd lock mine in and I'd give the key to you
 Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
 Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
 You were there
 You had somebody new
 And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
 Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
 While the world keeps moving around and around on you
 Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
 Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
 You were there
 You had somebody new
 And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
 Funny how your'e sure the time's standing still
 While the world keeps moving around and around on you
 And the lights go off
 And the curtain goes down
 Like an old romance
 Without any sound
 You don't get the story
 But the heartache still comes through
