How Bad Could It Get? (Old Dried Up Rose)

[Short Instrumental Intro] [Verse] A shoebox of letters And young lover prose A couple old photos And an old dried up rose Dusty and crumbling Like a dirt basement floor Reminding me daily That I used to have more [Verse] I don't feel like an old man Spitting anger and regret But I'm sitting here wondering How bad could it get? [Bridge: Swell] How bad could it get? How bad could it get? But I'm sitting here wondering How bad could it get? [Verse: Tempo Increase] Drinking lukewarm coffee From a used paper cup The glow in the rear-view Means the sun's coming up Through radio static, an old country tune , sings [Radio Static] ("Hold on tight, cowboy, I'll be back to you soon" ) [Verse] But the song has it wrong Oh, the songs got it wrong [Outro] It's been years since you've been gone It's been years you've been gone
