Stand up straight walk tall and proud
If you want the world to sing your praise
Don't let them see you sweat
Don't let your eyes get wet
That's just the way I was raised
What would my mom and daddy say
If they could see me now
You walked out and turned it all around
And since you've been gone
I've been drinking just a little bit more
My buddies clear out when I walk in through
The front of that bar room door
They know what I want to talk about
When I pull your tear stained pictures out
I'm in a crying, moaning, whining, groaning
Wishing you were back
In these arms along again kind of feeling
Draw the curtains
Pull down the shades and turn the TV on
I hate for people to see me like this
But I hate being alone
I'm trying a new way of getting over you
I wish my friends were more sympathetic
When I'm feeling blue
And since you've been gone
I've been drinking just a little bit more
My buddies clear out when I walk in through
The front of that bar room door
They know what I want to talk about
When I pull your tear stained pictures out
I'm in a crying, moaning, whining, groaning
Wishing you were back
In these arms along again kind of feeling
And since you've been gone
I've been drinking just a little bit more
My buddies clear out when I walk in through
The front of that bar room door
They know what I want to talk about
When I pull your tear stained pictures out
I'm in a crying, moaning, whining, groaning
Wishing you were back
In these arms along again kind of feeling
Crying, moaning, whining, groaning
Wishing you were back
In these arms alone again kind of feeling
