The sound of her slamming that door Hits different than it hit before She said, "I'd get on with my life" I ain't bettin', but I'm hopin' she's right 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 When she left, she didn't look back But I'm leaving the door open just a crack The whiskey's got me risking a fall But a long shot is better than no shot at all Yeah, 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 Oh yeah Oh, a little bit of neon Lightens up that she's gone Probably won't be, but it might be alright 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, my hopes are high
