Stand up straight And walk tall around If you want The world to sing your praise Well let 'em see you sweat Don't let your eyes get wet Well thats the way that I was raised What my mom and daddy say If they could see me now You walked out And turned it all around But since you've been gone I ve been drinking Just a little bit more My buddies clear out When I'm walking through The front of that bar room door They know what I want to talk about When I pull your tear stainded pictures out Ive been a crying, moaning, whining, groaning Wishin you were back in these arms alone again Kind of feeling Draw the curtains Pull down the shades And turn the T.V. on Hey I can't stand 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 Chorus: Whoa.... And since you've been gone I ve been drinking A whole lot more My buddies clear out When I'm walking through The front of that bar room door They know what I want to talk about When I pull your tear stainded pictures out Ive been a crying, moaning, whining, groaning Wishin you were back in these arms alone again Kind of crying, moaning, whining, groaning Wishin' you were back in these arms alone again
