[Verse 1]
It was a lonely bar room table
Smoky air and cigarettes
Kinda reminded me of the wild, wild west
I said, "Here's fifty bucks, my friend
Pour me somethin' strong and give
Little miss brunette in the corner a nice stout mix"
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I couldn't keep my eyes off of her all night
I'm a little over lettin' a good one get by
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't hold my breath sometimes like I should
I don't waste my time probably like I would
Just about a year ago when I was young, dumb, and broke
You gotta take the chances that you're given
Even if, even if it's a longshot
[Verse 2]
Before I knew it
I was all about you and
My words came out just a little on the shaky side
You gave me some chances
To spit out my name and
It's crazy to think this is happenin' to us
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't hold my breath sometimes like I should
I don't waste my time probably like I would
Just about a year ago when I was young, dumb, and broke
You gotta take the chances that you're given
Even if, even if it's a longshot
[Bridge]
You gotta keep it together, my friend
Never let anyone tell you different
Keep it together and then
It takes you back to when
[Chorus]
You wouldn't hold your breath sometimes like you should
You wouldn't waste your time probably like you would
Just about a year ago when you were young, dumb, and broke
Gotta take the chances that you're given
Even if, even if it's a longshot
It's a longshot
It was a lonely bar room table
Smoky air and cigarettes
Kinda reminded me of the wild, wild west
I said, "Here's fifty bucks, my friend
Pour me somethin' strong and give
Little miss brunette in the corner a nice stout mix"
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I couldn't keep my eyes off of her all night
I'm a little over lettin' a good one get by
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't hold my breath sometimes like I should
I don't waste my time probably like I would
Just about a year ago when I was young, dumb, and broke
You gotta take the chances that you're given
Even if, even if it's a longshot
[Verse 2]
Before I knew it
I was all about you and
My words came out just a little on the shaky side
You gave me some chances
To spit out my name and
It's crazy to think this is happenin' to us

'Cause I don't hold my breath sometimes like I should
I don't waste my time probably like I would

[Bridge]
You gotta keep it together, my friend

[Chorus]
You wouldn't hold your breath sometimes like you should
You wouldn't waste your time probably like you would
Just about a year ago when you were young, dumb, and broke
Gotta take the chances that you're given
Even if, even if it's a longshot
It's a longshot
