[Chorus] I finally quit smokin' cigarettes And I don't go downtown drinkin' 'til it's dawn The best parts of you are here, but you're still gone
[Verse] And, Lord, I've been tryin' to smile like you told me Laugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong The best parts of you are here, but you're still gone And I still tie that double knot The one you taught, that gets caught on the banks The best parts of you are here, but you still ain't
[Chorus] I finally quit smokin' cigarettes And I don't go downtown drinkin' 'til it's dawn The best parts of you are here but you'rе still gone
[Part II: Long Island]
[Verse] I heard your father got sick of Long Island I'vе been tryin' like hell to call My mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why I heard they shut down the old bar we'd go to when we needed rest We'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights You said I was the perfect gentleman You used to hold me by my gentle hands These ain't the hopeful hands you held before And I've been drinkin' so much lately, it seems a damn double blade 'Cause when I'm drunk I dream you're dancin' down the shore
[Chorus] I heard your father got sick on Long Island I've been tryin' like hell to call My mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why I heard they shut down the old bar we'd go to when we needed rest We'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights
[Outro] I heard your father got sick on Long Island I've been tryin' like hell to call My mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why I heard they shut down the old bar we'd go to when we needed rest We'd always stay out too late Tuesday nightsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
