pieces of my life

a water glass full of whiskey

women that i never knew too well

lord the things i've seen and done

most of which i'd be ashamed to tell

i don't know how it started

that's what makes a man a man i guess

now i'm holdin' on to nothin'

tryin' to forget the rest

i'm lookin' back on my life

to see if i can find the pieces

i know that some were stolen

and some just blew away

well i've found the bad parts

found all the sad parts

but i guess i threw the best parts away

lord away away

playing the bars playing like a star

anything to get a name

carryin' on livin' on songs

my friends wrote for me to sing

i'm lookin' back on my life

to see if i can find the pieces

i know that some were stolen

and some just blew away

well i've found the bad parts

found all the sad parts

but i guess i threw the best parts away

away away

lord the pieces of my life

they're everywhere they're everywhere

and the one i miss most of all

is you and you know who

lookin' back on my life lord

to see if i can find the pieces

lookin' back on my life today

to see if i can find the pieces

lookin' back on my life

god help me find the pieces
