Lyrics

Young & handsome
Star of the team
What all the young guys simply wanted to be
Girls dreamed about him, and he thought he had it all
He got one in trouble, and the star began to fall

Fell into drinking, blew his college chance away
Left her on her own, couldn’t face the life he’d made
And all his promises would soon turn into lies
She never made him happy, and he never made it right

Chorus:
And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind
He couldn’t face the future or the ones he’d left behind
Every day was more lonely than the last
And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of a glass

He started running with the wrong kind of crowd
He started sleeping on the wrong side of town
Then as time went on he tried so hard to change
But he always left her crying, she could never make him stay

One lonely night, with tears on his face
He raised his glass and his life slipped away
Just a memory, once like a dream
Everyone had loved him, the star of the team

Chorus:
And he drank to forget about the past
And all he ever wanted was what he couldn’t have
Every day was more lonely than the last
But he finally found forgiveness at the bottom of a glass
Yeah he finally found forgiveness, at the bottom of a glass
