Lyrics:

I finally quit smoking cigarettesAnd I don''t go downtown drinking ''til it''s dawnThe best parts of you are here, but you''re still goneAnd Lord, I''ve been trying to smile like you told meLaugh like the old me, it comes out all wrongThe best parts of you are here, but you''re still goneAnd I still tie that double knotThe one you taught, that gets caught on the banksThe best parts of you are here, but you still ain''tI finally quit smoking cigarettesAnd I don''t go downtown drinking ''til it''s dawnThe best parts of you are here but you''re still goneI heard your father got sick of Long IslandI''ve been trying like hell to callMy mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you whyI heard they shut down the old bar we''d go to when we needed restWe''d always stay out too late Tuesday nightsYou said I was the perfect gentlemanYou used to hold me by my gentle handsThese ain''t the hopeful hands you held beforeAnd I''ve been drinking so much lately, it seems a damn double blade''Cause when I''m drunk I dream you''re dancing down the shoreI heard your father got sick on Long IslandI''ve been trying like hell to callMy mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you whyI heard they shut the old bar we''d go to, when we needed restWe''d always stay out too late Tuesday nightsI heard your father got sick on Long IslandI''ve been trying like hell to callMy mind ain''t well and I just can''t tell you whyI heard they shut down the old bar we''d go to, when we needed restWe''d always stay out too late Tuesday nights
