The sound of her slamming that door

Hits different than it hit before

She said, "I'd get on with my life"

I ain't bettin', but I'm hopin' she's right.

I've got high hopes and low expectations

My glass is half empty, and that old country station

Is playing our songs, and it's hurtin' just right

I've got low expectations, but my hopes are high

My hopes are high.

When she left, she didn't look back

But I'm leaving the door open just a crack

The whiskey's got me risking a fall

But a long shot is better than no shot at all.

Yeah, I've got high hopes and low expectations

My glass is half empty, and that old country station

Is playing our songs, and it's hurtin' just right

I've got low expectations, but my hopes are high

My hopes are high

Oh yeah...

Oh, a little bit of neon

Lightens up that she's gone

Probably won't be, but it might be alright.

I've got high hopes and low expectations

My glass is half empty, and that old country station

Is playing our songs, and it's hurtin' just right

I've got low expectations, but my hopes are high

My hopes are high

Yeah, my hopes are high.
