Next In Line (Album Version)

Next In Line (Album Version) - Patty Loveless

See him there at the table watch him tear at the label

From the bottle that he just drank dry

In his mind there's a burning it took a long time but he's learning

And just look at the teardrops he's cried

Everybody knows I love him but his mind is on another

And just look at what she's done to his pride

And if he should change his mind give up the music and the wine

I'll be standing by to be the next in line

I know his favorite song so well and he's happy I can tell

Just as long as he can hear the jukebox play

So I'll keep playing it loud I'll spend every dime I have

To keep him happy in my own kind of way

Everybody knows I love him but his mind is on another

And just look at what she's done to his pride

And if he should change his mind give up the music and the wine

I'll be standing by to be the next in line

Yes I'll be standing by to be the next in line
