You Don't Know What You're Missing

You Don't Know What You're Missing - George Strait

Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys, one was complaining

About his life and his wife and everyday things

Said, his kids were gettin' big and gettin' hard to handle

The other guy was sipping whiskey, wasn't saying a thing

The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever

Said, I never have money or time like I used to

He went on and on, 'til the second guy finally sat down his whiskey

Looked him straight in the eye and said, lucky you

You don't know what it feels like living this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening

You don't know what you're missing, 'til it's gone

The second guy said, I used to have all your problems

But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind

So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation

And forgive me if I can't sympathize

You don't know what it feels like living this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening

You don't know what you're missing, 'til it's gone

You don't know what you're missing 'til it's gone
