[Verse 1]
Tried to close my eyes so I can make this big ol' world just disappear
The lining ain't so silver over here, well that much is clear
I wish the pain and heartache that I feel inside would up and go away
Things would be so different today, or so they've said

[Chorus]
Well, I could be a pilot and I'd fly around for free
Well, I could run for president and get called out on TV
When I drink enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see
When the party's over there ain't nothin' left but me

[Verse 2]
I wake up just as empty as the bottle that I drank the night before
My head feels just as heavy as the pour, ah, just one more
I guess what I was thinkin' was somehow I could just drink you off my mind
I guess in this case ignorance is gone, or I'm just blind

[Chorus]
I just get so lonely with the passing of the time
This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines
But through a glass of Tito's, man, this world's a sight to see
Aw, but when the party's over there ain't nothin' left but me

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I just get so lonely with the passing of the time
This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines
When I drink enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see
Yeah, but when the party's over there ain't nothin' left but me
When the party's over there ain't no one left but me
