Lyrics to Seven Vern Gosdin's Ago

I came here thinkin'

I'd have one drink, and

Catch the last half of the game

Talked to some old friends

Find out how they'd been

And not even mention your name

Well, my plan was workin'

I finally stopped hurtin'

Just when I thought I'd survive

Some fool in the corner

Armed with his quarters

Brought that old jukebox to life

I was doin' just fine

You were out of my mind

I had it under control

Oh, but that was three George Jones,

One heart-felt Doug Stone

And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

Now, I don't know what happened

How I went from laughin'

To drownin' in my broken heart

Hittin' the liquor

Kissin' your picture

To the shock of the boys at the bar

Now, I'm out on the dance floor

And I don't know what for

Waltzin' around like a fool

Thinkin' you miss me

That you're here with me

Then comes a moment of truth

I was doin' just fine

You were out of my mind

I had it under control

Oh, but that was three George Jones,

And one heart-felt Doug Stone

And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

I was doin' just fine

You were out of my mind

I had it under control

Oh, but that was three George Jones,

And one heart-felt Doug Stone

And seven Vern Gosdin's ago

So, you play what you play

But you'll just have to wait

I've got seven Vern Gosdin's to go
