[Verse 1]
A water glass full of whiskey
Women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

[Verse 2]
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holding on to nothing
Trying to forget the rest

[Chorus]
I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord away, away

[Verse 3]
Playin' the bars, playin' like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing
[Chorus]
I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Away, away

[Outro]
Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Looking back on my life, Lord
To see if I find the pieces
Looking back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces
Looking back on my life
God, help me find the pieces
