Woke up to the sound of my old dog’s bark
Coffee’s black, and the sky’s still dark
Patch in the roof, leaks when it rains
But it’s held me through heartache, and hard times and pain
There’s beans in the pot, and bread on the shelf
Ain’t got much, but I got myself
I keep movin’ forward, one slow step at a time
But Lord knows I’m haunted by what I left behind
I had love, and I let it go
Watched her fade in my rearview slow
Now the nights are long and the whiskey’s worse
But leavin’ her—that’s the deepest curse
No storm, no cold, no lonesome bed
Could hurt like the words I should’ve said
I may be broke, but I ain’t cursed
‘Cause life can’t get no worse
That dog don’t judge when I talk to the night
He’s seen me drunk, seen me lose every fight
Roof don’t leak as hard as my heart
But it don’t fall down, just like I ain’t fell apart
I ain’t got her laugh, or her Sunday grace
Just her memory burnin’ in this empty place
I pay my dues to the choices I made
And pray the good Lord forgives my ways
I had love, and I let it go
Watched her fade in my rearview slow
Now the nights are long and the whiskey’s worse
But leavin’ her—that’s the deepest curse
No storm, no cold, no lonesome bed
Could hurt like the words I should’ve said
I may be broke, but I ain’t cursed—
‘Cause life can’t get no worse
Ain’t nothin’ heavier than the weight of regret
A man learns too late what he should never forget
I had love… and I let it die
Now I just get by, with a tear in my eye
She was the fire, and I let it burn
Now it’s cold, and I never learned
Still breathin’, still feedin’ the dog
Still thankin’ the Lord for what I got
But no matter how bad this road gets curved
I’ve seen the worst, and it’s what I deserved
