A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Lord, away, away
Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Away, away
Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Lookin' back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life
God, help me find the pieces
