Lyrics

All you wanted was what you deserved
You laid it out in simple terms
I played along but I knew the end
Back in my place again

From where I watched you go
While I stayed with what I know
In the dim light, behind the curtain
‘Cause I made my choices
And now I live with ‘em
Livin’ in ballads and bourbon

Tune in a sympathetic soul
Singin’ on the radio
Pour a glass to find relief
Drowning out the memory

Of when I watched you go
While I stayed with what I know
In the dim light, behind the curtain
‘Cause I made my choices
And now I live with ‘em
Livin’ in ballads and bourbon

So have some small pity
On those who are hurtin’
Finding their company
In ballads and bourbon

‘Cause if you watched her go
While you stayed with what you know
In the dim light, behind the curtain
Then you made your choices
And now you live with ‘em
Livin’ in ballads and bourbon
