drop in a bucket

happy anniversary

baby

it's been a year now since you moved away

even though i asked you to go

i miss you every day

i miss you in the evenings

alone in the bed where i lie

i miss you in the morning

before i open my eyes

i went and sold everything that i could

babe

then i gave away what didn't sell

i moved south to nashville

i might like it there

but i can't tell

i been hanging in austin

eating chili's and good bar-b-q

writing songs about losing and heartache

hey babe

i been writing 'bout you

a year

that ain't nothing

when you lose someone you love

a year is a drop in a bucket

when you lose someone you love

i been traveling hard since september

i won't get back to nashville till june

i've played my songs all over the world

but i can't find a home without you

i press on like a mad rushing river

i press on with the will to survive

part of me lives for the wind in my face

while the other part's barely alive

a year

that ain't nothing

when you lose someone you love

a year is a drop in a bucket

when you lose someone you love

so happy anniversary

baby

may fortune and fate be your friends

wherever you go

i want you to know

i don't think my love ever ends

i carry it down the highway

it's a part of my body and soul

and one day it'll be the part of me

that will pull me up out of this hole

a year

that ain't nothing

when you lose someone you love

a year is a drop in a bucket
