I've been sitting here crying since long before the day be-gan
5 2m 4With my pockets full of nothing but broken dreams and my head in my empty hands
6m 4 1The winnings that I thought I had and come so far to get
Are further away then they've ever been, they've been taken by anoth-er man
I wouldn't take a train for home even if I could
5 2m 4Cause they've been saving their joy for the hometown boy who went away to make it good
6m 4 1I bet they cleared away the parlour so my Ma can dance me in the door
And the old man can wink, and pour me a drink and ask me what the tears are for
3m 4 5 1
It's harder to try a-gain than it was to be-gin
5 4 1A man can play a lone hand in a high stakes game, but it doesn't mean he's gonna win
And somehow I've got to keep from getting further down
5 2m 1 ( )Before I buy myself a bottle of cheap escape, and a ticket to anoth-er town
6m 4 1
I know I'm not crying 'cause I think I've had it mighty tough
5 2m 4I did my best with all the rest, but it just wasn't good e-nough
And I've been working and training too long just to make it here
5 4 1To merely swallow my pride and walk outside and come back anoth-er year
REPEAT CHORUS THEN:
I want to drown in the grape and make my escape, on a ticket to anoth-er town
