Lyrics

I got a friend about an hour or two from

I have a friend who is about an hour or two away

Down in the bottle and what's the next move

He is struggling with alcohol, and I'm wondering about the next steps

And it's give me a call when you get back upstate

He asks me to call when I return upstate

Oh your dad and mom, they must have 'bout died

Your parents must have been devastated

When you found him, and still wonder why

When you discovered him, and I still ponder why

And if you get tired of living thisaway

If you grow weary of living in this manner


Hard time living

Facing difficult times

Hard luck woman

You, a woman facing tough circumstances

Every lick or town

Every place or town appears to be the same

Just seems the same

Repeating a cycle with similar outcomes

And his good timing friends

Surrounded by friends who have good timing

And bailing him out again

Always coming to his rescue and bailing him out

You won't have it any other way

You are not willing to have it any other way


You must've thought he was in a fix

You probably thought he was in a difficult situation

And he must've laughed when the cuffs said click

He might have found humor in the situation when the handcuffs clicked

Like they seem to do alot these days

Arrests seem to happen frequently in today's world

And wherever you go, there you are

No matter where you go, there you are

A dozen roses and a PCS charge

A romantic gesture (roses) and a legal charge (PCS)

You get tired of living thisaway

You might get tired of living in this manner


Hard time living

Facing challenging times

Hard luck woman

You, a woman experiencing tough luck

Every lick or town

Every place or town feels monotonous

Just seems the same

Repeating a cycle with similar outcomes

And his good timing friends

Surrounded by friends who have good timing

And bailing him out again

Always coming to his rescue and bailing him out

You won't have it any other way

You are not willing to have it any other way

You won't have it any other way
