James - Josh Rouse

He decided he’d be better off alone

So he left his wife and child and went solo

It is summertime, Atlanta’s hot as hell

He thinks back to what he had and where he’s now

James can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

He’s on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts

James ain’t got a problem with alcohol

He can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

Found a pay phone and the courage, it did swell

What to say, James never really knew that well

His apology was more than they could stand

I’m just a poor excuse for what some call a man

James can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

He’s on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts

James ain’t got a problem with alcohol

He can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

So I want you to be spirited and brave

Find someone to love but never take my place

He hung the phone up and defeated his own life

Disappeared into the closest neon sign

James can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

He’s on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts

James ain’t got a problem with alcohol

He can’t stop, hangin' out in the bars

James can’t stop
