Testo What we can't have The Warren Brothers

What we can't have

(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 â€'That last song it really hit homeâ€?

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
