Comes on over

Wants to drown his sorrows

Got a two-seater sofa

And some whiskey in a bottle.

Broke and in tears

With weight of the world on his shoulder.

Oh my god sam

What's happened to ya?

Says his wife's just left him

With his two year old daughter.

To live in acapulco with some idiot

She only met a couple months ago

I wish I could tell you that.

If it was me

I would be a good wife

I would never doubt you

Ours would be a good life.

And we could be

Better than so many

I would never stress you

About bringing home the plenty.

For all these things

Another life I'll have to wait

Would have been perfect

If only god had wanted it.

But you'll never know and we'll get old

Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You'll never know the good life.

Somebody once told me

That there are watchers

And there are doers in this world

I guess I am a watcher

Not by choice

It's just what I was hurled.

We're just two friends

It's not a risky situation

I wish I could tell you that.

If it was me

I would be a good wife

I would never doubt you

Ours would be a good life.

And we could be

Better than so many

I would never stress you

About bringing home the plenty.

For all these things

Another life I'll have to wait

Would have been perfect

If only god had wanted it.

But you'll never know and we'll get old

Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You'll never know the good life.

Rest your head upon my shoulder

I'm so tired you can't see

Now that life's a little colder

I could love you simply.

Even if you'll never know

Wouldn't leave if it was me

My love would never

Run away like the sunshine

Good time friend

Not just the good times.

For all these things

Another life I'll have to wait

Would have been perfect

If only god had wanted it.

But you'll never know and we'll get old

Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You'll never know the good life.
