What We Can't Have

Itў‚¬"ўs a small crowd here again tonight
Iў‚¬"ўm playing these old songs I write
Nobodyў‚¬"ўs listening but a rich guy in the corner booth
And I think Iў‚¬"ўd like to be just like him
To get off work before two a.m.
Order what I like and dress real smooth
And then the rich guy he comes up to me
Picks up the tip jar and drops a twenty
And says ў‚¬ќThat last song it really hit homeў‚¬ќ
He said ў‚¬ќIf I could have just one thing
I would play guitar and sing
and then Iў‚¬"ўd never really feel aloneў‚¬ќ
And I thought to myself
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Itў‚¬"ўs enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Businessman sits at the bar
Lights up the end of a cigarr
And says ў‚¬ќBartender, pour me one more Crownў‚¬ќ
He says ў‚¬ќI should be getting home tonight
Iў‚¬"ўve got two kids and a wife
But you know me, Iў‚¬"ўd like to stick aroundў‚¬ќ
And Bartender says ў‚¬ќIf I were you, Iў‚¬"ўd get out of here
Iў‚¬"ўm tired of selling wine and beer
Iў‚¬"ўd sure love something nine to five.
No wife no kids no place to be
You sure you want to be like me
It feels like I have been here all my lifeў‚¬ќ
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Itў‚¬"ўs enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Thank God for this old guitar
I wrote a song for a country star
Made enough money to leave this little stage
But I come back here every now and then
I love this new guy sitting in
Heў‚¬"ўs probably half my age
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Itў‚¬"ўs enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Itў‚¬"ўs enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Baby ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
Baby ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
Baby ainў‚¬"ўt it crazy
Oooh, na na na na na
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
We all want what we canў‚¬"ўt have
