And the gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son
Chorus:
F / C /
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home

You never know when they'll come droppin' in

Too young to understand how love begins

I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the dawn

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
