Lyrics
[Intro]
[verse]
I sat down at the bar and I ordered me a drink
there was A lady there beside me that really made me think
that what I thought was really bad couldn't be that way
cause when she started talking the words she had to say
she said I lost my little boy he was only two
cancer took his life away one of only a few
I lost my husband a year ago life has never been the same
someday I'll drink my life away as I hold my head in shame
[chorus]
how can I think life is
so bad I've never felt that pain
I'm the one that should be holding my head down in shame
there's always someone's life out there that's much worse off than mine I should thank my god above that I'm alive and fine
[verse]
the tears streamed down my face though I tried to not let her see
as I sit here on this bar stool thinking how could I think of me
thinking my life was so bad now I know that's not true
to hear the life she has had and all that she's been through
2:02
[chorus]
how could I think life so bad I've never felt that pain
I'm the one that should be holding my head down in shame
there's always someone's life out there that's much worse off than mine
I can only pray that god helps her through this time
my heart breaks for her but with his help she'll be just fine
and I'll be just fine
