A water glass full of whiskey
Women that I never knew to well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell.

I don't know how it started
That's what makes a mam a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothin'
Tryin' to foeget the rest.

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away.

Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Lord, away, away.

Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing.

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away.

Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Away, away.

Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you know who.

Lookin' back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces.

Lookin' back on my life
God, help me find the pieces...
