LYRICS
Happy Anniversary, baby been a year now since you went away
Even though I asked you to go I miss you every day
I miss you in the evenings alone in the bed where I lie
I miss you in the morning before I open my eyes

Went and sold everything I could, babe gave away what didn’t sell
I moved south to Nashville I might like it there, but I can’t tell
I been hanging in Austin eating chilis and good Bar-B-Q
Writing songs bout losing and heartache hey babe, I been writing ‘bout you

A year, that ain’t nothing when you lose someone you love
A year is a drop in a bucket when you lose someone you love

I been traveling hard since September I won’t get back to Nashville till June
I’ve played my songs all over the world I can’t find a home without you
I press on like a mad rushing river press on with the will to survive
Part of me lives for the wind in my face while the other parts barely alive

A year, that ain’t nothing when you lose someone you love
A year is a drop in a bucket when you lose someone you love

So Happy Anniversary, baby may fortune and fate be your friends
Wherever you go I want you to know I don’t think love ever ends
I carry it on down the highway it’s a part of my body and soul
One day it’ll be, the part of me that will pull me up out of this hole

A year, that ain’t nothing when you lose someone you love
A year is a drop in a bucket when you lose someone you love
