Back on My Feet Lyrics

The day I left still haunts my dreams

I can still see you cryin' there, down on your knees

The life we built all shot to hell

No going back now, just stories to tell

So I came here, to drown the pain

Knowing good and well that it's all in vain

'Till I saw her across the bar

And felt hope come alive inside my heart

Well she ain't the real deal but she's a bargain the same

Mixing her with alcohol helps me forget your name

I know it ain't right, it won't fix my pain

But its better than sunlight feeling like rain

It'll be fun, maybe bittersweet

Might be just what I need to get back on my feet

(As so often does)

She started out a 6 but changed to a 9

After old Jack Daniels got me feeling real fine

What came next was really no surprise

I could see that little devil hiding in her eyes

They say its all fair in love and war

And who's to say we both wont score

The timing is right I've been down on my luck

As she grabs my hand and we head to the truck

Well she ain't the real deal but she's a bargain the same

Mixing her with alcohol helps me forget your name

I know it ain't right, it won't fix my pain

But its better than sunlight feeling like rain

It'll be fun, maybe bittersweet

Might be just what I need to get back on my feet

One night's sleep is all I'll get without you in my dreams

Tomorrow morning's daylight will bring you back to me

My blood shot eyes are the proof I'm really not over you

But I've heard the best way of moving on is to find somebody new

Well she ain't the real deal but she's a bargain the same

Mixing her with alcohol helps me forget your name

I know it ain't right, it won't fix my pain

But its better than sunlight feeling like rain

It'll be fun, maybe bittersweet

Might be just what I need to get back on my feet
