Benchmarks Just Fine
It was a restless Sunday evening in December
Just like the kind I've feared for my whole life
I was stumbling home from some dingy tavern
About the time he asked for you to be his wife
And to be honest, I didn't think too much about it
And I knew this day would come, to be fair
But it struck me that it didn't strike me quite so hard
If I feel it, I don't know where
But nothing's really wrong
I've just never been alone for quite this long
I take it one day at a time
Convincing myself that everything's just fine
I'm just fine
Well, Julie dyed her hair and went off the deep end
Sometimes I think I see her around town
And Katie, she still lives down in Georgia
I still call her when there's no one around
And me, I play guitar in dingy taverns
Just like I've always wanted my whole life
And I never feel alone on the Road
Only when I come back home late at night
But nothing's really wrong
I've just never been alone for quite this long
I take it one day at a time
Convincing myself that everything's just fine
Days and weeks turn into years
But I don't spend my nights in tears
I just wake myself up Tomorrow
It's a big old world out there
Don't want to miss it before I go
Nothing's really wrong
I've just never been alone for quite this long
I take it one year at a time
Convincing myself that everything's just fine
Because nothing's really wrong
I've just never been alone for quite this long
I take it one day at a time
Convincing myself that everything's just fine
Convincing myself that everything's alright
Convincing myself that everything's Just fine
