The good Lord knows I’m lonely”. Characters often find satisfaction and forget pain through drinking alcohol and music. This is expressed through the sentence “Nobody makes me cry, nobody gets me high, Nobody says goodbye or takes me back in time”. I return to the past).

However, frustration and loneliness continue when no one can replace the musical god Haggard, Hank and the character’s ex.

Lyrics
Whiskey knows my weaknessBartender knows my painMy heart knows I’m hurtin’And the barstool knows my nameThis glass knows I’m emptyThe devil knows my gameThe good Lord knows I’m lonelyAnd the jukebox knows no shameNobody makes me cry, nobody gets me highNobody says goodbye or takes me back in timeTo the place that we once wereNobody thrills me, nobody chills meNobody kills meLike Haggard, Hank and herMemory and drinks don’t mix too wellIt’s misery and ginLike a whippoorwill, I’m too blue to flyWhat I wouldn’t give, my baby would just walk in‘Cause I’m lonesome, I could cryNobody makes me cry, nobody gets me highNobody says goodbye or takes me back in timeTo the place that we once wereNobody thrills me, nobody chills meNobody kills meLike Haggard, Hank and herOh, nobody kills meLike Haggard, Hank and her
