Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What I had was good
And what I got ain't it
Don't know why it happened
But it is what it is
[Chorus]
I'll tell you why I'm high
It ain't 'cause I left her there to cry
It ain't 'cause I'm too far away to see my family
It's 'cause I'm too drunk to drive and I'm all outta whiskey
[Verse 2]
I just live alone
Out here on the road
And I don't own no land
And I don't have a home
[Verse 3]
Used to hold the one
She believed in me
But just like any old cowboy
I had to be set free
[Chorus]
I'll tell you why I'm high
It ain't 'cause I left her there to cry
It ain't 'cause I'm too far away to see my family
It's 'cause I'm too drunk to drive and I'm all outta whiskey
[Bridge]
Yeah, time will be my downfall
Yeah, I know it's tough
But I can't spend my whole life
Blaming the good stuff
[Chorus]
I'll tell you why I'm high
It's 'cause I left her there to cry
It's 'cause I'm too far away to see my family
Threw this old truck in drive, went and got me some whiskey
