Just Pleasing You - Rodney Crowell, Mary Karr, Vince Gill

I used to get drunk all by myself

I wanted to be somebody else

And I had a mask inside my mind

That I hid behind

Out on the point of no return

I crossed a bridge I could not burn

And turned down a road that led straight to just pleasing you

If just pleasing you is the last thing I do

I’ll go to my grave nobody’s slave

Most of the friends I used to know

Gave up a long long time ago

I blew through their lives a train off track

And never looked back

And I made each love a nasty joke

And every last chance a vow I broke

Then down on my knees, surrender to just pleasing you

If just pleasing you is the last thing I’ll do

They’ll lay me to rest

Knowing I’ve had the best

I used to get drunk all by myself

Now I’ve set that old pain up on the shelf

And each shining day I rise up to just pleasing you

And each shining day I rise up to just pleasing you

Just pleasing you

Just pleasing you
