Roger Creager

Stand up straight walk tall and proud if you want the world to sing your praise
Don't let them see you sweat, don't let your eyes get wet, that's just the way I was raised
What would my mom and daddy say if they could see me now
You walked out and turned it all around

(Chorus)

And since you've been gone, I've been drinking just a little bit more
My buddies clear out when I walk in through the front of that bar room door
They know what I want to talk about, when I pull your tear stained pictures out
I'm in a crying, moaning, whining, groaning, wishing you were back in these arms along again kind of feeling

Draw the curtains, pull down the shades and turn the TV on
I hate for people to see me like this, but I hate being alone
I'm trying a new way of getting over you
I wish my friends were more sympathetic when I'm feeling blue

And since you've been gone, I've been drinking just a little bit more
My buddies clear out when I walk in through the front of that bar room door
They know what I want to talk about, when I pull your tear stained pictures out
I'm in a crying, moaning, whining, groaning, wishing you were back in these arms along again kind of feeling
(Repeat Chorus)

Crying, moaning, whining, groaning, wishing you were back in these arms alone again kind of feeling
