Lyrics:

I finally quit smoking cigarettes**lf**And I don''t go downtown drinking ''til it''s dawn**lf**The best parts of you are here, but you''re still gone**lf**And Lord, I''ve been trying to smile like you told me**lf**Laugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong**lf**The best parts of you are here, but you''re still gone**lf****lf**And I still tie that double knot**lf**The one you taught, that gets caught on the banks**lf**The best parts of you are here, but you still ain''t**lf****lf**I finally quit smoking cigarettes**lf**And I don''t go downtown drinking ''til it''s dawn**lf**The best parts of you are here but you''re still gone**lf****lf**I heard your father got sick of Long Island**lf**I''ve been trying like hell to call**lf**My mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you why**lf**I heard they shut down the old bar we''d go to when we needed rest**lf**We''d always stay out too late Tuesday nights**lf**You said I was the perfect gentleman**lf**You used to hold me by my gentle hands**lf**These ain''t the hopeful hands you held before**lf**And I''ve been drinking so much lately, it seems a damn double blade**lf**''Cause when I''m drunk I dream you''re dancing down the shore**lf****lf**I heard your father got sick on Long Island**lf**I''ve been trying like hell to call**lf**My mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you why**lf**I heard they shut the old bar we''d go to, when we needed rest**lf**We''d always stay out too late Tuesday nights**lf****lf**I heard your father got sick on Long Island**lf**I''ve been trying like hell to call**lf**My mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you why**lf**I heard they shut down the old bar we''d go to, when we needed rest**lf**We''d always stay out too late Tuesday nights
