The Old What Might Have Been Blues Lyrics

You were the loner and I was the fool

I could have turned away but I broke my only rule

And walked into danger when all the clues were there

I knew you would only break my heart and not even care

I was just dropping by to have a drink or two

You didn't even try so what was I supposed to do?

You were whiskey and soda and those high heel shoes

Now I got the old what might have been blues

The thing about exes is there's always some whys

And what really wrecks it is too many lies

We were just another kind of oil and water

But the thought of you takes up so much room I know I really ought to

Forget you baby

I know I need to try

But I'll probly end up someplace between nowhere and goodbye

Cause when somebody wins somebody's got to lose

And get those old what might have been blues

The thing about exes is there's always some whys

And what really wrecks it is all of those lies

We were just another kind of oil and water

But the thought of you takes up so much room I know I really ought to

Forget you baby

I know I need to try

But I'll probly end up someplace between nowhere and goodbye

Cause when somebody wins somebody's got to lose

And get those old what might have been blues

Those old what might have been blues
