I'm on my second cup of coffee, and I still can't face the day

I'm thinkin' of a lady who got lost along the way

And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone
        C                                G                C
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done

But my sleep was filled with the dreaming of the wrongs that I had done

The gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son

Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
                                          G
You never know when they'll come droppin' in
F                            C
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
                                   G
Too young to understand how love begins

The radio is playing a soft country song
       C                                     Dm               F
And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done

They never were around when I needed them

Too young to understand how love begins
