I’ll admit it got to me
Hearing your voice on my machine
It took all I had to just let you talk
And not pick up where we left off

Chorus
Every night since your goodbye
I hit my knees and close my eyes
And I pray that you’d come back
Too many tears washed out that bridge
You wanna cross, but baby, it’s too late for that
Last night would’ve been a different story
But the morning sun must’ve done something for me
’Cause I bet I’d gone the other way
If youda called yesterday, if youda called yesterday

This victory runs bitter sweet
Through the heart and soul of me
But I sip my coffee and watch the sun rise
Makin’ its way to a bluer sky

Chorus

Solo

Last night would’ve been a different story
But the morning sun must have done something for me
‘Cause I bet I’d gone the other way
If you’d called yesterday
If you’d called yesterday
If you’d called yesterday

Mile marker 203, gass gauge leanin on the edge of “E”,
and [-]I'll be dang if the rain ain’t pourin down,
There’s somethin smokin underneath the hood,
It’s a bangin and a clangin and it can’t be good,
And [-]it’s another fifty miles to the nearest town,

(Bridge)
Everything I own’s in the back in a hefty bag,
I’m outta cigarettes and I’m down to my last drag,

(Chorus)
I’d sure hate to break down here,
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror,
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin,
So GOD help me keep me movin somehow,
Don’t let me start wishin I was with him now,
G E (xx6454) Am (x77555)
I made it this far without cryin a single tear,
I'd sure hate to break down here,

Under fifty thousand miles ago,
Before the bad blood and busted radio,
You [-]said I was all you’d ever need,
But love is blind and little did I know,
You were just another dead end road,
Pave[-]d with pretty lies and broken dreams,

(Bridge)
Baby leavin you is easier than being gone,
I don'[(G)]t know what I’d do if one more thing goes wrong,

(Chorus)
I’d sure hate to break down here,
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror,
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin,
So GOD help me keep me movin somehow,
Don’t let me start wishin I was with him now,
G E (xx6454) Am (x77555)
I made it this far without cryin a single tear,
I'd sure [-]hate to break down here, oh no,

(Chorus)
I’d sure hate to break down here,
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror,
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin,
So GOD help me keep me movin somehow,
Don’t let me start wishin I was with him now,
G E (xx6454) Am (x77555)
I made it this far without cryin a single tear,
I'd sure hate to break down,
It’s too late to turn around,
I'd sure hate to break down here,
Mile [-]marker 215,

Mama Don't Cry
Don’t you worry about me
I’m a little bit scared, Mama
But I’m gonna be alright
I got the letter that you gave me
Folded in my pocket
I got a feelin’ like I need to read ((it ends here))

Intro – F C F C F G C

That oscillatin’ fan is movin’ left to right
Like it’s mockin’ me for comin’ here again last night
I slide from under your arm, your still out stone cold
As I fumble through the twisted sheets lookin’ for my
clothes
I step over that spot on your hardwood floor
The one that always squeaks when I’m sneakin’ out your door

Some use water, others use beer
Some don’t need anything, but I end up here
Searchin’ for comfort for this burn I can’t soothe
Chasin’ my whiskey with you

I call up my sister tell her don’t say a word
You know where I am, I’ll wait here by the curve
Just like an addiction,well I’ve tried to give you up
But I know all bets are off when I’ve had too much
With an empty shot glass on a Budwiser coaster
Starin’ at my cell phone as closin’ time gets closer

Some use water, others use beer
Some don’t need anything, but I end up here
Searchin’ for comfort for this burn I can’t soothe
Chasin’ my whiskey with you

Every time is the last time
Till the next time rolls around
I’ll trade lonely for the guilt
It’s easier to drown

Some use water, others use beer
Some don’t need anything, but I end up here
Searchin’ for comfort for this burn I can’t soothe
Chasin’ my whiskey with you
F G F repeat intro
Chasin’ my whiskey with you

Chorus:
Everyone says move on, that is what you would want
Good advice, they are right, thats what I need to do
But what I want, all I want is you

What I need is bread and water and a father for our daughter
What I need is someone new
What I want is you

Chorus

Inst. C F C F

What I need is loss of memory to forget when you were with me
What I need is to admit we’re through
What I want, what I need, oh what I want is you
