Everything But Me

The beach is too hot and the mountains too cold
I'm getting too damn old to be running
Like I use to be

The planes to high and the cars too slow
To get me where I need to go
And all I'm after is her memory

I bought a house with a big backyard
Fancy clothes and a brand new car
When she left she took everything she pleased
Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me

What I need is some inspiration 
A fifth of booze and a destination
Something to put my mind at ease

If I wasn't off my medication
I wouldn't be here in desperation
But I'm down here begging on my knees

Bought a house with a big backyard
Fancy clothes and a brand new car
When she left she took everything she pleased
Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me

Well, this next part goes out to her new man

You can give her the stars and hang her the moon
But the sun's warm beams, the flowers bloom
You reap what you sew and you sew what you reap

I know you can't trust her, so you can't sleep
But don't get down, she'll kick you out
That's the way love goes, no doubt
'Cause I done tried everything
Hell, I even

Bought a house with a big backyard
Fancy clothes and a brand new car
When she left she took everything she pleased
Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me
Oh, let me tell you, she wanted everything but me
