I woke up early Took a walk in the Tennessee rain Since you left Nashville Even the drops don't fall the same There's a hole in my chest where my heart used to live What I wouldn't give I wouldn't hold you when you needed me most So I don't blame you for your new life on the coast But now you're gone, gone, gone and I'm gonna have to live With what I wouldn't give Just to have another one of those thousand days I threw away I thought I'd never miss
Just to have one tiny chance to go right back and change the past Before it came to this What I wouldn't give I swear next time I'll give my all, give my best That's what I would do There would be no holding back just holding on Holding on to you My last dollar, my last cigarette Put down this bottle Never place another bet And if it's not too late you can take my last breath What I wouldn't give What I wouldn't give
