George Strait - You Don't Know What You're Missing Lyrics






Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys, one was complaining
About his life and his wife and everyday things
Said, his kids were getting' big and getting' hard to handle
The other guy was sipping whiskey, wasn't saying a thing

The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever
Said, I never have money or time like I used to
He went on and on, till the second guy finally sat down his whiskey
Looked him straight in the eye and said, lucky you.

[Chorus:]
You don't know what it feels like living this lonely
You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home
You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening
You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone

The second guy said, I used to have all your problems
But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind
So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation
And forgive me if I can't sympathize

[Repeat Chorus]

You don't know what you're missing till it's gone

    Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys,
    one was complaining
    About his life and his wife and everyday things
    Said, his kids were gettin' big
    and getting' hard to handle
    The other guy was sipping whiskey,
    wasn't saying a thing

    The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever
    Said, I never have money or time like I used to
    He went on and on,
    till the second guy finally sat down his whiskey
    Looked him straight in the eye and said, lucky you.

    You don't know what it feels like living this lonely
    You don't know
    what it sounds like when nobody's home
    You've been talking and man,
    I've been doing some listening
    You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone
    *******
    The second guy said, I used to have all your problems
    But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind
    So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation
    And forgive me if I can't sympathize

    You don't know what it feels like living this lonely
    You don't know
    what it sounds like when nobody's home
    You've been talking and man,
    I've been doing some listening
    You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone
    You don't know what you're missing till it's gone...

    Good morning Sir, Today is Friday the 13th, 2014am. It is I, Sylvia Nankyer Payton. How are you doing Sir?. I have written some suggestions for the GOP (VP) position that you might want to contribute to where we stopped yesterday. The Summer Semesters have started already; therefore, I will be able to work with you and Baba with were we stopped yesterday.

  48. G.... A....

    Amazing! :) !

  49. B.... M....

    Bought it, it is wonderful.

  50. W.... ....

    I'm going to try to upload it again, but I can't make any promises about it staying up. Youtube blocked the last two versions I posted.

    W.... ....

    I like it

  51. R.... S....

    Winston Will You Try To Get George's Song I Got A Car

  52. S.... ....

    Awesome song. Best on the album!! Thank...:)

  53. B.... ....

    Oh trust me I know what good country music is. I have been a fan of George Strait since I was a damn baby lol. My dad brought me up in real country music from George Johns, Gene Watson, Alan Jackson, Charley Pride, Ronnie Milsap, and of course George Strait!

  54. W.... ....

    I'm glad you do like it and that's always been my rationale; if more people hear this music more people can learn how country music should sound! I hope everyone grabs a copy and keeps pushing "Give It All We Got Tonight" up the charts!

  55. B.... ....

    As said before fav on the album! This album is freaking fantastic thanks for posting others to enjoy Winston they can hear and go buy it!
