Next In Line Lyrics - Sleepless Nights - 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 hes 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
