Young & handsome Star of the team What all the young guys simply wanted to be Girls dreamed about him, and he thought he had it all He got one in trouble, and the star began to fall
Fell into drinking, blew his college chance away Left her on her own, couldn’t face the life he’d made And all his promises would soon turn into lies She never made him happy, and he never made it right
Chorus: And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind He couldn’t face the future or the ones he’d left behind Every day was more lonely than the last And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of a glass
He started running with the wrong kind of crowd He started sleeping on the wrong side of town Then as time went on he tried so hard to change But he always left her crying, she could never make him stay
One lonely night, with tears on his face He raised his glass and his life slipped away Just a memory, once like a dream Everyone had loved him, the star of the team
Chorus: And he drank to forget about the past And all he ever wanted was what he couldn’t have Every day was more lonely than the last But he finally found forgiveness at the bottom of a glass Yeah he finally found forgiveness, at the bottom of a glass
