You Don't Know What You're Missing

Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys, one was complainin'

About his life, and his wife, and everyday things

Said his kids were gettin' big, and gettin' hard to handle

The other guy was sippin' whiskey, wasn't sayin' a thing

The first guy kept on talkin' for what seemed like forever

Said, "I never have money or time like I used to"

He went on and on till the second guy finally sat down in his whiskey

Looked him straight in the eye and said, "Lucky you"

You don't know what it feels like livin' this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talkin' and man, I've been doin' some listenin'

You don't know what you're missing till it's gone

The second guy said, "I used to have all your problems

But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind

So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation

And forgive me if I can't sympathize"

You don't know what it feels like livin' this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talkin' and man, I've been doin' some listenin'

You don't know what you're missing till it's gone

You don't know what you're missing till it's gone
