The sound of her slamming that door
Hits different than it hit before
She said I'd get on with my life
Well, I ain't bettin', but I'm hopin' she's right
'Cause I've got high hopes and low expectations
My glass is half empty and that old country station
Is playing our songs and it's hurtin' just right
I've got low expectations but my hopes are high
My hopes are high, yeah
When she left, she did not look back
And I left the door open just a crack (oh, just a crack)
My whiskey's got me risking a fall
But a long shot is better, oh, than no shot at all
I've got high hopes and low expectations
My glass is half empty and that old country station
Is playing our song, it's hurtin' just right
I've got low expectations but my hopes are high
My hopes are high
Oh, yeah
Oh, a little bit of neon
Lighten nothing now that she's gone
It probably won't be but it might be alright
'Cause I've got high hopes and low expectations
My glass is half empty and that old country station
Is playing our songs, it's hurtin' just right
I've got low expectations but my hopes are high
My hopes are high (yeah, my hopes are high)
Oh, my hopes, my hopes are high, yeah
