A water glass full of whiskey
Women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

I don't know how it started
That's what makes a man a man I guess
Now I'm holding on to nothing
Trying to forget the rest

I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away

Well I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord away, away

Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carrying on, living on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing

I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away

Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Away, away

Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you-know-who

Looking back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Looking back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces

Looking back on my life
God help me find the pieces
