AS GOOD AS IT GETS
 
Got a hole in my pocket
Got a hole in my shoe
Got a hole in my soul when I'm not with you
Walked away from the fire
Ran empty and blue
Dreamed an ocean of dreams that didn't come true
 
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
It's time I get on
Yeah I'm so long gone
 
There's no gas in the Chevy
There's no coal in the mine
There's nobody to tell me it's gonna be fine
Ain't no easy solutions
Once the well is bone dry
You just pack up your problems and head for the sky
 
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
It's time I get on
Yeah I'm so long gone
 
You can shuffle the deck til your fingers fall off
But the cards never change do they baby?
 
She looked a little bit like you
Through a bottle of gin
I was too drunk to drive
She took me in
She lay me down on her pillow
Then she took off my clothes
I thought about you
She smelled a rose
 
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
It's time I get on
Yeah I'm so long gone
 
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
If this is as good as it gets
It's time I get one
Yeah I'm so long gone
