Once I had a love I took for granted
thought that I could trade him for a song
now he's gone and I'm alone I finally understand it,
he's the one was leaving all along
So I thank God for all his lesser angels
here beside me in this bar tonight
cause flannel shirts and blue jeans
and the promises of strangers
make for a less blinding shade of white
once I had a little piece of heaven
all I'm trying to do is get it back
I've been saving up my pennies
and counting my blessings
who could ever blame me for that?
I never thought that love was worth the fight
now I'm pulling my punches
making up for lost time
The sun has set but I ain't through with trying
I'm walking the straight and narrow
keeping under the street lights
chorus
