Patty Loveless - Next in line

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
