When my baby left me she left trouble all around
She left a tangle in mind and a tear in my eye and my heart was sorrow bound
But when I woke up this morning I brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Then I looked all around for a little tear but the little tear wasn't there
Now I can walk in the sunshine again now I can hold my head up high
Now I can walk like the man I have been now I can live again
[ steel ]
I've spent some long nights thinking I guess I did some drinking too
I've cried at least the million tears and I had my share of the blues
But today it's finally over the world looks brighter to me now
I'm still here and she's still gone but it's all right somehow
Now I can walk in the sunshine again now I can hold my head up high
So I'll say goodbye to my drinking friends now I can live again now I can give again
