I came here thinkin'
I'd have one drink, and
Catch the last half of the game
Talked to some old friends
Find out how they'd been
And not even mention your name

Well, my plan was workin'
I finally stopped hurtin'
Just when I thought I'd survive
Some fool in the corner
Armed with his quarters
Brought that old jukebox to life

I was doin' just fine
You were out of my mind
I had it under control
Oh, but that was three George Jones,
One heart-felt Doug Stone
And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

Now, I don't know what happened
How I went from laughin'
To drownin' in my broken heart
Hittin' the liquor
Kissin' your picture
To the shock of the boys at the bar

Now, I'm out on the dance floor
And I don't know what for
Waltzin' around like a fool
Thinkin' you miss me
That you're here with me
Then comes a moment of truth

I was doin' just fine
You were out of my mind
I had it under control
Oh, but that was three George Jones,
And one heart-felt Doug Stone
And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

I was doin' just fine
You were out of my mind
I had it under control
Oh, but that was three George Jones,
And one heart-felt Doug Stone
And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

So, you play what you play
But you'll just have to wait
I've got seven Vern Gosdin's to go
