The Checklist Lyrics

There was tears

Check

There was whiskey

Check

There was tired eyes from cryin'

And a tired mind from tryin'

And a smile to hide away a frown

There was a bar stool

Check

There was a drunk fool

Check

Broken up for nothing more than a dream that we could not afford

Now I'm wasted on another pay check

I've got a lot to do

To keep myself from missing you

Nights turn to days and blue skies turn to grey

And tear drops fall for your memory

And I've got a lot to do

To keep myself from missing you

And I stumble home

Check

To a broken home

Check

And dreams belong to this address

But the constant need to progress

To another place we both didn't want to go

And I'm lonesome

Check

And I'm thirsty

Check

And If I could see the sacred signs that could ease my trouble mind

And point me to the love I need tonight

I've got a lot to do

To keep myself from missing you

Nights turn to days and blue skies turn to grey

And tear drops fall for your memory

And I've got a lot to do

To keep myself from missing you

To keep myself from missing you
