We'd been fighting so I went to the corner bar
There was an old man there picking his guitar
He was up on stage singing sad country songs
He said I"ll be back I'm taking a break
Then he walked over by me
Pulled up a chair and said pour me something hard
He turn to me and said man I'm a fool
I don't know why I act the way I do
But If I were you
I'd make sure that I
Never had to see her cry
And I'd say I love you every chance I can
And if I were you
I'd hold her close
All night long and never let her go
I'd buy a ring and put it on her hand
If I were you I wouldn't do what I did
Well he finished his drink and went to the stage
His next songs Marina Del Ray
I'm Over You and Ol Hank's Blues Man
He said folks my slot has come and gone
But I've got time for one more song
He looked at me and shot me that ol grin
He turned and said man men are fools
I don't know why we act the way we do
But if I were you
I'd make sure that I
Never had to see her cry
And I'd say I love you ever chance I can
If I were you
I'd hold her close
All night long and never let her go
I'd buy a ring and put it on her hand
If I were you I wouldn't do what I did
I closed my tab and headed home
The first thing that I said
Was I love you so I'll make sure that I
Never have to see you cry
I'll say I love you every chance I can
And I love you so I'll hold you close
All night long and never let you go
I'll buy a ring and put it on your hand
Cause loving you was the best thing that I did
Said loving you was the best thing that I did
