They say if you look long enough you can find
Some good where there's bad, well, believe me I've tried
'Cause after you left me I had lots of time
But the only good thing I could find.

Is it sure makes one hell of a song
About hurting and going crazy and treating me wrong
There's nothing good about you being gone
But it sure makes one hell of a song.

(Spoken)
You know I still look for you that keep hanging on
And even though all the reason I once had are gone
All that's left now is a heartache and an old guitar to hold
(Sang)
It's a small consolation I know.

But it sure makes one hell of a song
About hurting, going crazy and treating me wrong
There's nothing good about you being gone
But it sure makes one hell of a song.

It sure makes one hell of a song...
