drinks were so big for ten so damn small 
he lost his ambitions for the one girl he loved 
and he had a family 
some kids and a home 
and just like his man that left him long ago 
when he has a problem 
he turns to her guilty 
he grew up near austin and he moved to the big city 
began wedding tables and serving them bottles 
but they started drinking them too 
she's the one thing that he can't get 
away from he's tried his whole life 
but she's there on the table 
and he goes for her and follows with a chaser 
then turns to the lord 
and prays for a savior 
and he'll come around 
cause his soul's just been found 
and he's gonna make his mama proud 
and it's hard to give in 
but i know that he will 
cause romance was a dream and she was a pill 
and now he's on a way to turn around 
he swear he'll never take it underground 
and i saw him empty the cabinet 
and then he went and called his kids 
tell him that he's coming back 
he's a different man and a better dad 
his chips looking over him now 
oh when he has a problem 
he turns to her guilty 
he grew up near austin and he moved to the big city 
began waiting tables and serving them bottles 
but they started drinking at two 
oh she's the one thing that he can't get 
away from he's tried his whole life 
but she's there on the table 
and he goes for her 
and follows with a chaser 
then turns to the lord 
and prays for a savior 
and he'll come around 
cause his soul's just been found 
he's gonna make his mama proud 
and it's hard to give in 
but i know that he will 
cause romance was a trick 
she was a pill 
he let it go and took time to heal 
cause romance was a dream and she was a pill
