The fool that I am tries to tell myself I'm a ramblin' man With lots of friends around so Ain't no use for a woman's touch 'round here
I was doin' fine with nothin' in my fridge but This ol' box of wine And that's pretty much how I lived Until she came around and knocked the dust off my shades
Just like my worn out boots Where the rain comes through I was empty deep down inside but When I hold you I, I feel alright and When I hold you I, I feel alright
She knocked me down, threw cold water on me I almost drowned, then she pulled me up and Slapped my face, told me Things gonna change round here
She called my friends Told 'em: Don't you ever give those pills to him He's goin' clean and we ain't Ever goin' to show our faces in that lonesome bar
Just like my worn out boots I was just bad news I was empty deep down inside but When I hold you I, I feel alright When I hold you I, I feel alright
Like my damn fool heart of stone I tried to go on without her love And there I'd sit on that barstool alone Singin' along with those heartbreak songs so long
Just like my worn out boots Where the rain comes through I was empty deep down inside but When I hold you I, I feel alright and When I hold you I, I feel alright and When I hold you I
