What We Can't Have Lyrics

Artist: The Warren Brothers
Album: King of Nothing

(Brett Warren/Brad Warren)

It€™s a small crowd here again tonight
I€™m playing these old songs I write
Nobody€™s listening but a rich guy in the corner booth
And I think I€™d like to be just like him
To get off work before two a.m.
Order what I like and dress real smooth

And then the rich guy he comes up to me
Picks up the tip jar and drops a twenty
And says €?That last song it really hit home€?
He said €?If I could have just one thing
I would play guitar and sing
and then I€™d never really feel alone€?
And I thought to myself

We all want what we can€™t have
It€™s enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ain€™t it crazy
We all want what we can€™t have

Businessman sits at the bar
Lights up the end of a cigarr
And says €?Bartender, pour me one more Crown€?
He says €?I should be getting home tonight
I€™ve got two kids and a wife
But you know me, I€™d like to stick around€?

And Bartender says €?If I were you, I€™d get out of here
I€™m tired of selling wine and beer
I€™d sure love something nine to five.
No wife no kids no place to be
You sure you want to be like me
It feels like I have been here all my life€?

We all want what we can€™t have
It€™s enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ain€™t it crazy
We all want what we can€™t have

Thank God for this old guitar
I wrote a song for a country star
Made enough money to leave this little stage
But I come back here every now and then
I love this new guy sitting in
He€™s probably half my age

We all want what we can€™t have
It€™s enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ain€™t it crazy
We all want what we can€™t have

It€™s enough to drive you mad
Make you happy, make you sad
Ain€™t it crazy
We all want what we can€™t have

Baby ain€™t it crazy
We all want what we can€™t have
Baby ain€™t it crazy
Baby ain€™t it crazy
Oooh, na na na na na
We all want what we can€™t have
We all want what we can€™t have
