Something In My Life Is Missing

Had a dollar in his pocket
Tag inside his new used suit
Felt like a Friday Davy Crocket
Never learned to take orders or salute

He’s as thin as his checkbook
But he could pass for a movie star
All the while he had that wrecked look
Best looking man in the whole wide bar

Be my best friend, I ain’t seen him in awhile
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile

Here I slight
A midwestern Shakespeare
In a tiny perfect hand
He tells you so much, you move he just breaks ya
Fall when you decide to land

Meet my best friend, I ain’t seen him in awhile
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile

You sit there in dead silence
You gotta friend who’s real and true
No idle conversation
He wrote a long song just for you

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile

He paints houses for the money
He should be paid just to wake up
You imagine just together
Getting sick from drinking from the same cup
Love doesn’t always wear a stupid smile

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile

Something in my life is missing him by a mile
