Lyrics
I close my eyes and try to think it through
But in the end I lose no matter what I do
It's like my heart and soul are doin' time
And my sanity is on the line
Gotta get a grip, I gotta get a grip
I gotta get a grip now, get over it
I gotta let it go and follow through
Yeah, get out and find somebody new
Ain't no use in waitin' by the phone
And wonderin' how it all went wrong
For in the end it's still the same old song
You don't know what you got until it's gone
I hit the road in my favorite ride
I could drive all night just to clear my mind
Across the bridge and around the bend
To where it all began with my ex-girlfriend
An angel's smile is what they sell
While I play the role that I know so well
Come last call, and I'm done with that
To the riverboat down in Joliet
Well the cards are dealt, I raise my bet
A winning hand helps me to forget
But in the end it's still the same old song
You don't know what you got until it's gone
It's all gone
My money, it's gone
And my honey, it's all gone
And my pride, it's gone
You don't know what you got until it's gone
