[Chorus]
I can't stand me since I lost you
And I can't stand nobody else
I can't stand me since you went away
And I got to get away from myself
[Verse 1]
I used to be a high-stepper with a lot on the ball
My friends all called me Ace
It took a woman like you to bring a good man down
And make me ashamed to even show my face
[Chorus]
I can't stand me since I lost you
And I can't stand nobody else
I can't stand me since you went away
And I got to get away from myself
[Verse 2]
Oh, when I look in a glass and see a grown man cry
It makes me want to hang my head
I used to feel real proud just to be alive
But now I think I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
I can't stand me since I lost you
And I can't stand nobody else
I can't stand me since you went away
And I got to get away from myself
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna find me a river about ten mile wide
With a bridge right all away across
I'm gonna drag myself about half way over
And then I'm gonna throw me off
[Chorus]
I can't stand me since I lost you
And I can't stand nobody else
I can't stand me since you went away
And I got to get away from myself
[Outro]
Yeah I got to get away from myself
