I can wrap my hand around the bottle

I can throw 'em up at ten and two

Squeeze down on a John boat throttle

Keep the bird dog back till it's time to cut him loose

When I started slippin', thought I was strong

Didn't know a good thing till it was gone

There for a while, had my world in reach

One more shot, I'd drop everything

She was the glue that held me together

Now I be missin' that piece of me forever

Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand

If she was here, I'd let her know

I can't gеt a grip on lettin' her go

Coulda sworn we'd tiе the knot

Fast forward, I'm losin' my mind

She struck a nerve when she kicked me to the curb

Now I'm sittin' in hurt, this side of goodbye

There for a while, had my world in reach

One more shot, I'd drop everything

She was the glue that held me together

Now I be missin' that piece of me forever

Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand

If she was here, I'd let her know

Can't get a grip on lettin' her go

So when I started slippin', thought I was strong

Didn't know a good thing till it was gone

There for a while, had my world in reach

One more shot, I'd drop everything

She was the glue that held me together

Now I be missin' that piece of me forever

Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand

If she was here, I'd let her know

Can't get a grip on lettin' her go
