"Get A Grip" lyrics

I can wrap my hand around the bottle
I can throw 'em up at ten and two
Squeeze down on a John boat throttle
Keep the bird dog back till it's time to cut him loose

When I started slippin', thought I was strong
Didn't know a good thing till it was gone

There for a while, had my world in reach
One more shot, I'd drop everything
She was the glue that held me together
Now I be missin' that piece of me forever
Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand
If she was here, I'd let her know
I can't get a grip on lettin' her go

Coulda sworn we'd tie the knot
Fast forward, I'm losin' my mind
She struck a nerve when she kicked me to the curb
Now I'm sittin' in hurt, this side of goodbye

There for a while, had my world in reach
One more shot, I'd drop everything
She was the glue that held me together
Now I be missin' that piece of me forever
Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand
If she was here, I'd let her know
Can't get a grip on lettin' her go

So when I started slippin', thought I was strong
Didn't know a good thing till it was gone

There for a while, had my world in reach
One more shot, I'd drop everything
She was the glue that held me together
Now I be missin' that piece of me forever
Close my eyes, and I'm holdin' her hand
If she was here, I'd let her know
Can't get a grip on lettin' her go
