All right, you guys feel funky tonight, ah yeah
This is an old Memphis song, old Memphis song

I used to smoke
Five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing
To put them away
I drink four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass
In my hand all the time
Breaking those habits was hard to do
But nothing compared to the changes
You put me through

*Trying to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have

All right, I said

I had the worst reputation in town
For chasing all the women around
I thought changing my way of living
Was hard to do
But it's nothing compared to the changes
That you put me through
I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's gonna take a miracle
To get me over you

Trying to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have
