Story Behind The Song
Jimmy Webb songs such as By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Didn't We, Where's The Playground Susie, and Wichita Lineman are major influences for the song. Love the lyrics, use of strings, and bass and guitar he utilized. Designed to make the listener get nostalgic, and move them.

A retro Jimmy Webb 60's influenced track with a current production feel. Utilizes a double bridge, which was common in that time period. Has hints of Glen Campbell like guitar in it, some light strings, etc. Also, has an instrumental version available without the vocals.

Lyrics
Without You
By John Kelly Wilson
I'm doin fine girl....without you
Lots of late nights....without You
Say I'm the life of the party...girl....without you
I do whatever I like....without you
No one to tell me last call....without you
Then why's my smile painted on....without you
Because we tried and you said it just wouldn't work
Said I'm a wild stubborn buck that couldn't be broke
That being free is what I wanted and what I need to do
Then why am I dying inside and my heart's broke in two
Repeat Bridge
I'm all alone and so sad....without you
I miss my friend and my love....without you
I'll never be the same again....without you
Never the same....without you
Never the same....without you
I don't want to be without you
Without you
