The Warren Brothers - What We Can't Have lyrics

It's a small crowd here again tonight I'm playing these old songs I write Nobody's listening but a rich guy in the corner booth And I think I'd like to be just like him To get off work before two a.m. Order what I like and dress real smooth And then the rich guy he comes up to me Picks up the tip jar and drops a twenty And says "That last song it really hit home" He said "If I could have just one thing I would play guitar and sing and then I'd never really feel alone" And I thought to myself We all want what we can't have It's enough to drive you mad Make you happy, make you sad Ain't it crazy We all want what we can't have Businessman sits at the bar Lights up the end of a cigarr And says "Bartender, pour me one more Crown" He says "I should be getting home tonight I've got two kids and a wife But you know me, I'd like to stick around" And Bartender says "If I were you, I'd get out of here I'm tired of selling wine and beer I'd sure love something nine to five. No wife no kids no place to be You sure you want to be like me It feels like I have been here all my life" We all want what we can't have It's enough to drive you mad Make you happy, make you sad Ain't it crazy We all want what we can't have Thank God for this old guitar I wrote a song for a country star Made enough money to leave this little stage But I come back here every now and then I love this new guy sitting in He's probably half my age We all want what we can't have It's enough to drive you mad Make you happy, make you sad Ain't it crazy We all want what we can't have It's enough to drive you mad Make you happy, make you sad Ain't it crazy We all want what we can't have Baby ain't it crazy We all want what we can't have Baby ain't it crazy Baby ain't it crazy Oooh, na na na na na We all want what we can't have We all want what we can't have
