(Harlan Howard)

I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.

It didn't lay there very long
I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding

I didn't care enough
I wasn't bear enough
And she got lonely.

I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.

And good things don't just lay around
Neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket

He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket...
