Song Lyrics

I used to get drunk all by myself
I wanted to be somebody else
And I had a mask inside my mind
That I hid behind

I'm on the point of no return
I crossed a bridge I could not burn
And turned down a road that led straight to
Just pleasing you

If just pleasing you
Is the last thing I'll do
I'll go to my grave, yeah
Nobody's slave

Most of the friends I used to know
Gave up a long, long time ago
I blew through their lives a train off track
And never looked back

And I made each love a nasty joke
Every last chance of vow I broke
Been down on my knees surrender to
Just pleasing you

If just pleasing you
Is the last thing I'll do
They'll lay me to rest
Knowing I've had the best

I used to get drunk all by myself
Now I've set that old pain up on the shelf
And each shining day I'll rise up to
Just pleasing you

And each shining day I'll rise up to
Just pleasing you

Just pleasing you
Just pleasing you

Mary Karr, Rodney Crowell
