Young and handsome, star of the team That all the young guys simply wanted to be Girls dreamed about him when they thought he had it all He got wound in trouble then, the star began to fall Fell into drinkin' blew his college chance away Left her on her own, couldn't face the life he made And all his promises would soon turn into lies She never made him happy and he never made her cry And he drank to k** the trouble on his mind He couldn't face the future or the ones he left behind Everyday was more lonely than the last And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of the gla** He started runnin' with the wrong kind of crowd And started sleepin' on the wrong side of town Then as time went on, he tried so hard to change But he always left her cryin', she could never make him stay One lonely night with tears on his face He raised his gla** and his life slipped away Just a memory, once like a dream Everyone looked down at the star of the team And he drank to forget about the past And all he ever wanted was what he couldn't have Everyday was more lonely than the last But he finally found forgiveness in the bottom of the gla** Yeah, he finally found forgiveness in the bottom of the gla**
