Third night this week

Playing this old bar again

Young newly wed couple showed up

Spotted them as soon as they walked in

They looked so in love

Young man looked up at me, threw me a five

And asked if he could buy me a drink

He said I wish I could sing and play guitar man

you've got it made

I said before we go and toast to that

there's something I gotta say

I'd give it all, I'd give it back, I'd make a call

Wouldn't take me long to pack

And I'd give it up, I'd give it in

If only I, could see her again

Just took this long to see

that this ain't where I need to be

I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21

Made a lot of good friends, but lost them just as fast

You can't see the real world, through the bottom of a glass

Ain't even got a dog, cause I'm always on the road

Don't even call home, even a letter wrote

But if I could see the bright lights of Montgomery, Alabam'

Take this long road back up home, and never take it down

I'd give it all, I'd give it back, I'd make a call

Wouldn't take me long to pack

And I'd give it up, I'd give it in

If only I, could see her again

Just took this long to see

that this ain't where I need to be

I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21

Just took this long to see, that this bottles drownin' me

I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
