Story Behind the Song
There's no real story, the song says it all.
Lyrics
Well, the first time I laid eyes on you it was at that bar we know,
I don't think it was the music or the lights that gave you that glow,
And it wasn't all that crowded or too smokey for me to see,
So since I thought I saw angel, there's only one thing that it could be.
Chorus:
'Cause I was drinkin' when I met you, I was blinded by the beer,
The whiskey had clouded up my mind, so my thinkin', it wasn't that clear,
I'm too smart to be called stupid, so there's no real mystery,
I was drinkin' when I met you, but now I'm sober so I'm history.
Well I can't say that you're not pretty, 'cause you turn heads when you walk by,
But your hairdo and your makeup don't cover the demons inside,
I don't need contacts or glasses to see I'm walkin' into abuse,
So, since I thought I saw a halo, I can offer only excuse.
CHORUS
Yea, I was drinkin' when I met you, but now I'm sober so I'm history.
